A new perspective on waste • May-Jun 2009 • Issue 47
Resource 47 coverThe latest edition of resource
magazine is now available
In this issue we look at what’s been happening with WEEE compliance schemes. Resource also revisits the scope for eco-design to help the end-of-life process. Meanwhile, with the economic difficulties to the fore, we look at how some LAs are finding success with fining for not recycling. We also visit the sustainable housing debate and question whether it’s better to retrofit existing housing or build new eco houses.
