11. Reducing the volume of waste which is land filled, however this is to be achieved, will require active public support:
· Public support for, and participation in, action to reduce waste arisings and to increase recycling will be required in the short, medium and long term in order to minimise the potential landfill generated;
· Public are likely to be suspicious of some new treatment systems, such as incineration, and must therefore be educated on the environmental realities surrounding waste treatment in order to generate support;

· Any new waste treatment plant is likely to be an industrial scale development necessitating a lengthily, transparent, planning process. Public opposition to a planning application may be greater if there is uncertainty or misconceptions about the plant and the environmental impacts it might have.
