This statistic tracks the amount of waste created by the Department of Energy & Climate Change in the United Kingdom (UK) from the 2009-2010 baseline to 2014-2015. The figures show a significant increase in the amount of waste created in 2014-2015, due to a refurbishment of the department's London HQ site and scheduled replacement of ICT equipment. Based on earlier reductions against the baseline, it is very likely that the department would have easily achieved the targeted reductions in the absence of these one-off events.
Total waste produced by the Department of Energy & Climate Change per FTE in the United Kingdom (UK) from 2009 to 2015
(in kilograms)
Under the Greening Government Commitments (GGCs), central government departments are required to achieve certain reductions against baseline figures. According to the source, the refurbishment of the department's London HQ site and a scheduled replacement of ICT equipment lead to unusually high levels of waste. As a result of these one-off activities the DECC was unable to meet their waste reduction targets under the GGCs.
