USEFUL MATERIALS IN
CIRCULATION
EASTEX
a free service
A materials exchange actively exploits the
principle that one organisation’s waste is another’s
raw material. By automatically matching these
parties via the internet, unwanted materials can
be passed on or sourced efficiently - either once
or as an ongoing arrangement.

Landfill tax is set to increase by £3/tonne each
year from £21/tonne to reach a long-term rate
of £35/tonne. The Government is committed to
making these increases revenue-neutral to
business by funding initiatives which promote
resource efficiency through the Business Resource
Efficiency and Waste (BREW) Programme.
Eastex is funded by BREW through the East of
England Development Agency (EEDA).
Funding has also been provided by The East of
England Regional Assembly (EERA), The
Environment Agency, The County Councils and
local authorities of Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire,
Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk and Suffolk,
Peterborough City Council, May Gurney and
Mott MacDonald.
