Expenses only – but a useful and interesting role
RAY is a new £2m recycling market development programme for Yorkshire and the Humber. Funded through Yorkshire Forward and part-financed by the European Union; RAY will stimulate economic activity within the recycling supply chain. This in turn will lead to a significant increase in the collection, reprocessing, manufacturing and use of goods and materials with a recycled content.
Steering Group
RAY is seeking to recruit 2 Steering Group Members from the recycling, business and academic sectors to widen the steering group membership.
The Steering Group will meet on at least a quarterly basis and their main role will be to contribute to the shape and progress of the Programme, in particular by helping identify key issues, their solutions and potential partners. Ideally membership will comprise key stakeholders from the business and academic sectors, who, through their interest in recycling, and/or knowledge of market development activity can support the RAY programme.
The Steering Group‘‘s role is to offer strategic advice to RAY. Candidates will ideally have experience of :
· Their specialist area for at least 5 years. · Have an empathy with the aims of RAY. · Good networks amongst key players and decision makers in their field. · Cross sector partnership working · Sound judgement. · High standards of integrity
If you are interested and can help us realise our ambitions, then Yorkshire Forward would like to hear from you.
Please Send your CV and covering letter to Alex Hargreaves by Friday 8th April 2005.

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...
