Waste Management Objectives 1-8 - How do NCC intend to prevent and minimise waste without the ability to recycle glass or a system of reuse within the county? Further reductions in CO2 emissions from collections and distribution of waste can only be achieved by a world class glass recycling centre in Norfolk with a good train-line link for import/export of glass to be turned into cullet. You cannot have net self sufficiency if you export waste from within Norfolk to outside the County boundary; landfill is not the answer as this exacerbates both the need for areas to fill plus the emissions that will inevitably be caused by HGV transportation to those sites. Recycling glass will fulfil WSO8 in generating employment. Recycling glass could lead to a clean green industry within West Norfolk with the potential of hundreds of jobs.
