Twelve decision questions
Start from what you want to achieve and answer only what that question needs: a budget, a target and its timing, and the materials it is about.
Plan where waste goes, and what to build for it
For every material that leaves the sorting plants of a country, year by year: which recycling, recovery or disposal route it takes, and which processing and landfill capacity to add, and when - the plan that best serves your goal within your budget.
Choose the outcome that matters to you - financial return, lower emissions, more recovery or less landfill - and compare the plan with what happens if nothing is built.
The current system, then a plan
Every plan is measured against today's capacity carrying tomorrow's supply. The plan shows each material's route and every investment, year by year, with its value, emissions, recovery, landfill and jobs.
Alternatives and frontiers
Nearby plans that improve one more outcome without changing your goal, and sweeps that show what each step of environmental ambition costs in capital or in value.
