'Reuse Before Recycling' could be legally enforceable by citizens soon
By Ruby Hazael
London West, UK - The UN has given the UK government a warning after court costs were deemed too expensive for cases involving citizens and community groups challenging environmental changes.
Environmental experts say the warning is hugely important, and will mean UK courts will have to put legal and practical measures into place to help individuals financially in cases such as opposing the building of a new road or housing development.
When the UK takes on the EU waste frame directive making reuse before recycling a legal requirement, the costs involved in fighting a reuse court case should not stop an individual from proceeding.
