Monitoring indicators

ECONOMY & RESOURCES

This page provides insights into Devon’s progress towards a sustainable and circular economy. We track key indicators such as recycling rates, biodegradable waste management, and the reduction of avoidable food waste. Our aim is to avoid waste and create a circular economy, reduce emissions from unavoidable biodegradable waste and wastewater treatment, use the purchasing power of Devon’s organisations to benefit the environment and local communities, and support communities and businesses to transition to net-zero.
