RESOLVED: To note the content of the report.
Officers provided Members with a comprehensive outline of the information contained in the Update Report and the Chairperson invited questions and comments. Members asked whether tonnage per person could be provided as a statistic as they considered this would be interesting to know. Officers advised that respective local authorities should have this data, but they would get his information and circulate to Members. Officers stressed that Members needed to bear in mind that some trade also use the contract too so this will impact some figures. Members asked what happens to the waste not included here but is not good enough to be recycled. Officers explained that the figures relate to what has been presented to Prosiect Gwyrdd, each LA reports whole tonnage and what happens to Welsh Government and each LA’s respective officers should have access to this information. Members referred to the 473 tonnes of air pollution residue and asked if this was an ongoing situation. Officers explained the reasons as being that there is very limited technology for recycling this type of material currently, Avonmouth deals with quite a large area, and the density and blending of the materials. Hopefully technology will improve going forward. Members asked if help has been sought from Welsh Government as this would help Wales meet its recycling target. Officers agreed to find out. Members considered it would be useful to have a compositional report, with an analysis of sources, times of year, what material etc. brought to a future meeting. Members requested an update on the Cardiff Heat Network and considered this would be useful to have at regular intervals. Members referred to the numbers of visits to Viridor and asked if they are consistent or whether any big changes have been seen. Officers explained that there was a drop in numbers due to Covid and ‘visits’ moved online; now both virtual and in person visits were happening. The visitor centre is promoted in schools.

Councillors must say when they have a personal link to something being discussed, such as a job, a property or a family member. A prejudicial interest is one strong enough that the councillor usually leaves the room and takes no part.
