Liverpool City Region (LCR) Zero Waste Strategy
The Joint Liverpool City Region Zero Waste Strategy has been developed by the LCR Waste and Resources Partnership, which is made up of representatives from the six District Councils (Halton, Knowsley, Liverpool, Sefton, St Helens and Wirral).
This strategy sets the strategic direction for the LCR Waste and Resources Partnership. It offers our collective ambition to achieve zero avoidable waste by 2040 and demonstrates the link between waste and achieving net zero carbon in the City Region.

MRWA Zero Waste Strategy
Following development of the Regional Strategy, the Authority has developed an MRWA Zero Waste Strategy, which follows the three key themes of People, Planet and Economy. These represent the key pillars of sustainability (the triple bottom line) and ensure social value principles are recognised in our delivery of zero waste action. Strategic outcomes are identified under each key theme, together with a focus on Education, Food and Reuse as critical areas for increased action.
The Strategy recognises the importance of working with residents and communities to understand attitudes and encourage positive change towards less wasteful behaviours. Accordingly, there is a strong focus on education, campaigns and community engagement to rethink resource use and encourage a reuse culture to reduce waste at source by as much as possible and achieve our zero waste target.
