WRAP (Waste & Resources Action Programme)
WRAP (the Waste & Resources Action Programme) was established in 2001 in response to the UK Government's Waste Strategy 2000 to promote sustainable waste management.
WRAP gained additional responsibilities in 2003 as a result of the Government’s response to the review of waste policy undertaken in 2002 by the Prime Minister’s Strategy Unit (Waste Not, Want Not, a Strategy for Tackling the Waste Problem in England). WRAP is set up as a not-for-profit company limited by guarantee by DEFRA, the DTI, and the devolved administrations of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
WRAP's initial programmes of work concentrate on:
- creating stable and efficient markets for recycled materials and products for the 100 million tonnes of waste accounted for by commercial, industrial and municipal waste (this includes waste from houses, offices and factories)
- specific work in six material streams: aggregates, glass, organics, paper, plastics, and wood, supported by work in three generic areas: financial mechanisms, procurement, and standards.
