                       and finite resources
                       1.   Protecting human health and the environment to secure our future prosperity
                       2.   Sharing responsibility for avoiding unnecessary consumption and improving resource management
 Key principles        3.   Recognising the economic, environmental and social costs of waste generation and disposal
                       4.   Recognising regional differences and opportunities
                       5.   Full lifecycle management of resources

                       1. Driving cultural        2. Avoidance and            3. Reuse, recovery and              4. Management,

 Note: [1] The 2016 targets are not original to the Strategy, but have been calculated for this review, to enable progress under the strategy to
           be measured. Each 2016 target was calculated by assuming that the corresponding 2024 target would be achieved in equal
           annual increments (or decrements) from the 2013 Baseline.
