  • use GIS to generate a resource map of C&I waste resources in the surveyed area

  • assess resource potential in C&I waste for Hampshire based on survey and business profile

  • emphasis on building dialogue, feedback and interaction with SMEs and on providing a tool to assist them in increasing waste recovery

  • develop an interactive system which will ultimately be offered as a web-based tool accessible to all businesses in Hampshire, and ultimately across the South East

  • integrate data on C&I and MSW to determine the overall resource stream and highlight infrastructure opportunities for combined recovery
