The Department has carried out a review of the existing Waste Prevention Programme which we plan to publish shortly. Over the past 12 months we have engaged with a range of stakeholders to develop initial proposals for a revised programme, but over the past few months this work has slowed down because of the immediate priorities of the Covid-19 response. We will communicate next steps in due course. In the meantime, the Resources and Waste Strategy, published in December 2018, sets out how we will preserve our stock of material resources by minimising waste, promoting resource efficiency and moving towards a more circular economy.
