Synopsis
Both regional and local UK waste authorities make use of scenarios to outline future strategies and project needs, like changing waste quantity and composition for example. However, the full implications of these scenarios on factors such as taxation or degrees of public participation have not been fully explored. This paper investigates future waste scenarios for Norfolk that were developed according to OST (1999) standards by taking political, economic and social alternatives into consideration. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with a wide range of stakeholders to elicit information about the likely structure of problems associated with these scenarios to create a simulation model that generates plausible characteristics for each scenario. These also included home composting, recycling-scheme participation and the impacts of variable charging. In exploring the modelling aspects of this research, the paper outlines the policy conclusions that were obtained from its results, after they were put through a lifecycle assessment using mechanical computer-aided design and cost-benefit analysis techniques.
