Respondent: Campaigners Against Two Silica Sites
NCC has no plans in place to account for reducing CO2 emissions from the quarrying of silica sand. It should put in place a plan that increases the quantity and quality of glass recycling; this will reduce the amount of raw material (silica sand) required to be quarried, which reduces the CO2 emissions from both quarrying and glass manufacturing (more recycled glass used in manufacture reduces CO2 emitted and the energy required). MW4 fails sustainability objective SA1 on pg 9 of the Sustainability Appraisal Report - Part A- Scoping (Oct 2015) and pg 15 of Part B (Jun 2019).
