6. Passionate about recycling Financial motivation to recycle Recycling premium Projected disposal cost Indices based, ignoring inflation

7. Passionate about recycling The recycling premium Difference between gross recycling value and disposal cost Indices based, ignoring inflation Price index comparative

8. Passionate about recycling Where do we need to look? New challenges  Lithium ion batteries (Electric vehicles 7% of global market by 2020)  Glass fibre  Mixed plastics  Mattresses/carpets  uPVC Window frames  Contaminated packaging (eg.Tetra Pak) New recyclate and reuse opportunities  WEEE reuse  Paint reuse  Plastic wood  Glass reuse options

9. Passionate about recycling What we need to do? Identify and separate streams Measure volumes accurately Reduce Carbon footprint (eg minimise transport) Increase recycling premium

10. Passionate about recycling C&I projected recycling volumes %

11. Passionate about recycling Case study 1: WEEE to EEE2 Around 1.5 million tonnes of WEEE is generated annually in the UK. Over 40% of this material is currently “lost”. This is in part due to ;  Illegal and legal exports  Illicit collections and scrap recovery  Poor data collection  Hoarding Of the WEEE that is measured barely 2% is reused.

12. Passionate about recycling WEEE to EEE2  Thirteen categories of WEEE are measured quarterly by the EA from data measuring 5 streams of WEEE arisings. Currently the average scrap value (net of processing charges) of all types of WEEE (weight apportioned) is £116/tonne*  This compares with a value for WEEE suitable for reuse of over £900/tonne**  Even at a modest 15% reuse WEEE values increase to £233/tonne.  Reuse volumes have trebled in the last three years. They can easily treble again.  Simply identifying value doubles the reason to recycle!

13. Passionate about recycling Case study 2: uPVC windows 90,000 tonnes of uPVC frames are currently discarded, expected to rise by 4% per year for at least the next 10 years. Whilst disposal costs are around £85 per tonne, scrap value for recovered metals returns a net £74 per tonne. This rises to;  £193 per tonne for separated metal and uPVC  £433 per tonne for processed uPVC granulate and metal  £615 per tonne for extruded uPVC

14. Passionate about recycling Recycling challenge  50% recycling target by 2020  Probable headwind from dropping commodity prices and cost inflation  Increased competition from incinerators and additional recycling capacity  Reduction in market size over next 10 years  No one said recycling was going to be easy but it is certainly going to be a test of resilience and ingenuity.
