WRAP Cymru Launces New Circular Materials Mapping Tool for Wales

 

Funded by the Welsh Government, WRAP has developed this user-friendly Circular Materials Mapping Tool for Wales – a useful resource for Welsh stakeholders across the plastics, paper, and wood value chains.

It provides an interactive, visual representation of the extent of Wales’ plastics, paper, and wood sectors, plotting business locations and helping to identify where there are clusters.

Users can:

  • Filter by company type
  • Explore the number of businesses in each local authority
  • Explore the tonnage and type of material handled at selected sites
  • Explore opportunities to source recycled feedstocks and find outlets for material waste in Wales.

The tool is intended to help support greater collaboration between the many businesses that make up Wales’ plastics, paper and wood. sectors. It provides businesses with the opportunity to further enhance their understanding of the wider Welsh materials sector.
