Yorkshire Forward, the Regional Development Agency for Yorkshire and Humber, with European Funders, is seeking a private sector partner to develop and implement a Regional Market Development (or ‘ReMade’) Programme for Recyclable Materials
This new programme aims to:
support the development and expansion of regional collection and reprocessing capacity and develop new markets for recyclates
ensure that an additional 580 000 tonnes of waste is recycled over the three year funding period
contribute to the Region’s targets to cut greenhouse gas emissions, create new jobs and business opportunities within the industry and stimulate private sector investment within the sector.
create a Centre of Excellence with a small, dedicated team to work across the supply chain (collection, reprocessing, manufacture, end markets and procurement)
Private sector partners are required to set up and drive forward the Centre of Excellence, playing a key role in the delivery of the market development programme. Yorkshire Forward would also welcome alternative innovative ideas and solutions that would attain the goals of the programme.
Expressions of interest are sought from consortia/consultants with expertise in waste/recycling, social enterprise, regeneration, economic development and inward investment. Yorkshire Forward would like to draw on expertise and experience within and outside the UK to bring existing best practice and technology to the Yorkshire and Humber region.
Short listed firms will be put forward to formal tender and may be asked for interview. It is envisaged that the partner will be in place by January 2004 for an initial 3-year period. This tender is in accordance with OJEC requirements.

Waste management poses challenges, but could unlock major environmental and economic gains
Every day, the city of Rio de Janeiro, one of the largest metropolises in the Southern Hemisphere, generates 17,000 tonnes of waste, ranging from large industrial debris to candy wrappers bought innocently at newspaper stands. While this waste presents a serious and urgent environmental challenge, it also fuels an increasingly significant portion of the economy, with benefits extending beyond financial gains. - When we look at developed European countries, many are already recycling between 40% and 50%, with some reaching 60%. From an economic standpoint, both recyclable materials and organic waste hold tremendous value - stated Adalberto Maluf, National Secretary for Environment and Environmental Quality at the Ministry of the Environment (MMA), during the Methane Forum: Climate Emergency Brake, at the Rio Nature and Climate Week. Citing a 2025 report, Maluf mentioned that Brazil literally throws away R$27 billion annually, while municipalities spend significantly more - R$45 billion - managing all this waste, often overlooking the environmental impact or economic potential buried in landfills and dumps. - We spend R$45 billion to collect and dispose of waste in landfills, yet we manage to recycle less than a third of the potential. I believe it will be necessary to review contracts, create performance-based remuneration mechanisms, and pay for both effectively sorted materials and those diverted from landfills - he added. According to the IBGE, 60.5% of Brazilian municipalities adopt some form of selective waste collection, and several initiatives serve as examples of how to manage city waste. In his panel presentation, Bernardo Ornelas, Project Coordinator at the Rio de Janeiro Municipal Urban Cleaning Company (Comlurb), highlighted Ecoparque do Caju, a national benchmark in waste management and recycling. There, received materials are sorted and can be used for biogas production, organic compounds for urban gardens, or human consumption, in the case of still...
