CIWM welcomes support for waste development

The Chartered Institution of Wastes Management (CIWM) has welcomed the announcement by Vince Cable that waste will be one of five key sectors to be supported by Green Investment Bank (GIB) between now and 2015/16, and an early priority for the new UK Green Investments team at the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills. However, it is still concerned about the ability of the GIB to address the longer term challenges.
