Respondent: Campaigners Against Two Silica Sites
Without a radical overhaul of the glass recycling plan in Norfolk, NCC is failing the NPPF to 'look to recycle before extracting raw materials'. The planned extraction figures quoted here are flawed as they are only based on figures supplied by the mineral extraction companies as their 'required need'; there is no other independent oversight of the figures to confirm them. Increased recycling of glass, especially clear glass, would reduce the 'required need' for raw silica sand - a fact agreed by Sibelco in their own publicity.
