Rubbish policy not a waste of time

New strategy to protect biosphere status

The Infrastructure Minister is looking to Tynwald to approve new proposals for dealing with waste.

A review has led to a new Isle of Man Waste Strategy.
 
The way the island deals with rubbish is not a waste of time, according to the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture, which wants core policies to reflect the Island's Biosphere status.

It will continue the battle against single-use plastics, in the hope of sustainable and self sufficient waste management on the island, both now and in the future.
