Experts in the waste and recycling sectors have generally supported these changes. For instance, Michael Topham, the CEO of Biffa, has highlighted the need for a smooth transition to the new system and the environmental benefits that it can bring. However, when it comes to the recycling of paper and card, quality is crucial. It is vital, therefore, that these materials are clean and dry as they enter the waste stream and are not contaminated in any way. Dimitra Rappou, an executive director at the Confederation of Paper Industries, has expressed apprehension about the potential contamination of paper and card when co-collected with other materials.
