Resource Forum fringe event

Also at Base London was a fringe event organised by The Resource Forum, which was billed as a look at the optimum way to handle a notional tonne of waste.

While we didn't get into too much detail, there was a Local Authority Waste Officer who pointed out one of the important trade-offs which is often forgotten in the waste debate: the more effort his council puts into moving waste up the waste hierarchy, the fewer social workers it can put out onto its streets.
