Market Approaches - overview
The Market Approaches section in WikiWaste brings together the key policy, legislative and economic drivers (including taxation) that impact the delivery and design of waste collection systems and the measurement of their effectiveness (key metrics).
Market Approaches provides a context and structure to support the understanding of the key approaches to delivery of waste management in the UK, but is not a comprehensive legislative listing nor is it an economists reference tool. It is designed to help frame the main ‘levers’ and approaches that influence current and emerging delivery solutions in the market.
Categories
WikiWaste groups the key market approaches into six main categories which in turn link to pages with more detail and explanation of the factors influencing the delivery of waste and recycling in the UK.
The Collection Systems category captures the varying approaches to the collection of waste and recycling as well as the associated bins and lorries used.
This category captures the main economic tools that have been used in conjunction with policy and legislation, to influence the development of the UK waste sector.
Several key metrics are reported for the UK to track how well policy and legislation are being delivered and performing. This section brings those metrics together and links to the pages that provide more information about them.
This category captures the main legislation that exists in the delivery of infrastructure and the wider waste sector in the UK, but is not a comprehensive reference list at the current time

Purpose
The Market Approaches section brings together the context within which the market operates and the solutions that are in place and being developed. Emerging areas that will develop in WikiWaste over time include the development of the policy, legislative and economic framework to drive such things as the circular economy (CE) and sustainable aviation fuels (SAF).
Connections
This section provides the key external factors that influence the UK sector and organisations operating within it (typically used as part of a PESTLE analysis). Pages in WikiWaste link back to the key market approaches categories where relevant, and the market approaches section increasingly will link back to the areas of the market impacted as WikiWaste develops.
Other overview sections:

Brings together the core facility types that sit behind UK waste services.
Enabling users to move from a named waste stream into the facilities that handle it.
Linking facilities to operators, public bodies, regulators and industry organisations.
Including a page for each authority and the infrastructure used for thier main tonnage.
