This soft market test relates solely to the treatment and processing of Dry Mixed Recycling and does not include collection services. The purpose of this engagement is to seek feedback from the market to help shape a procurement that is deliverable, commercially viable and attractive to suppliers, while ensuring continuity of service and compliance with relevant legislation.
