In depth: Identifying the levers for change in the UK waste sector
Learn how Sancroft’s regulatory review and stakeholder engagement enabled Reconomy to lead policy advocacy.
Reconomy, a leading circular economy specialist, wanted to pinpoint where UK waste legislation falls short in driving resource recovery – and how it could influence future policy to boost reuse and recycling.
Sancroft partnered with Reconomy to:
- Review current and upcoming UK and EU waste regulations for strengths and unintended gaps
- Deep dive into sector challenges across resource streams and management methods
- Distil insights into ten principles for economically efficient, high-value resource management
- Produce a comprehensive report alongside a concise, shareable summary for external engagement
- Map and engage key stakeholders through strategic sessions to validate and refine the principles
As a result, Reconomy now has a robust, evidence-based framework to advocate regulatory reform. The project strengthened its relationships with policymakers and industry peers, positioning Reconomy as a proactive leader in shaping the UK’s circular economy.
