Camden Reduction and Recycling Plan: 2023-2025

Camden’s 2025 vision is to be a clean, vibrant and sustainable borough.

To achieve this, we will work with our residents, communities and businesses to reduce the use of packaging, particularly plastic, recycle more of our waste and move towards a more circular economy.

A 'circular economy’ is one where we use things for as long as possible, and those that we no longer need or want are repaired, reused, shared or traded to help our community and reduce waste.

Our Reduction and Recycling Plan (RRP) sets out how we intend to do this from 2023 - 2025.
