energy from waste plays a role in meeting the UK’s landfill diversion targets.</p><p>
</p><p>The Government is committed to recovering the maximum amount of energy from
incinerated waste. It also encourages and supports the utilisation of heat and/or
the production of other outputs beyond electricity.</p><p> </p><p>The Resource and
Waste Strategy will be published later this year and will set out how we will maximise
the value we get from resources and minimise waste. It will set out how we will achieve
zero avoidable plastic waste, double the UK’s resource productivity by 2042, and achieve
zero avoidable waste of all kinds by 2050.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
