- The Reprocessing of Materials from Mid and East Antrim Household Recycling Centres.

Description

Tenders are invited from suitably qualified and experienced economic operators for the following services: • The provision of treatment and recycling of waste materials from recycling centres as specified in this document brought into 5 recycling centres within Mid and East Antrim Borough area. Mid and East Antrim Borough Council is committed to improving its effect on the environment by using environmentally friendly materials, practices and technologies where available. To achieve this aim, we wish to work with like-minded organisations who can demonstrate a similar commitment. The Circular Economy Package set a target of 55% of municipal waste recycled by 2025, 60% by 2030 and 65% by 2035 and less than 10% waste to landfill by the same year. The Climate Change Act (Northern Ireland) 2022 includes the need to develop a waste management sectoral plan, which must ensure that at least 70% of waste is recycled by 2030. The Council wishes to move the treatment of materials further up the waste hierarchy away from landfilling, recovery and open loop recycling, and into the realms of closed-loop recycling, remanufacturing, reuse and repair. Council wishes to promote and support the development of Circular Economy solutions to keep goods and materials in circulation, to make the best use and get the greatest value out of them. 3.
