In broad terms, [[PPP]] is a partnership between local government and private companies to provide services to the community.

In broad terms, a [[Public Private Partnership]] ([[PPP]]) is a partnership between local government and private companies to provide services to the community.

In the context of the waste and resources market in the UK, the [[PPP]] approach has been used by Government and the procuring [[Waste Disposal Authorities]] to stimulate investment in waste infrastructure, and underpin the diversion of [[BMW]] waste from [[Landfill]]. This ~~was especially~~ prevalent when the Government's support/subsidies through the alternative [[~~PFI~~]] ~~approach came to an end. As a result of not being able to obtain~~ [[PFI]] ~~funding support, a [[PPP]] process has been followed by many [[Waste Disposal Authorities]], or consortium of them, where they have a need~~ to deliver their waste disposal needs and a lack of funding to be able to deliver large infrastructure. The [[PPP]] approach in this context has used a similar contract format to the [[PFI]] approach, with the private companies using the tonnage commitment of the [[Waste Disposal Authorities]] over a long contract period to underwrite/secure the funding to build the necessary infrastructure.

This became more prevalent when the Government's support/subsidies through the alternative [[Private Finance Initiative]] ([[PFI]]) came to an end.

Some [[PPP]] contracts are currently under review by [[Waste Disposal Authorities]] but more so for movement out of [[PFI]] after consideration of the cost benefit of continuing with the contract, and several have already been removed (i.e. Lancashire) or have had closed with major restructure (i.e. Sheffield and Greater Manchester).
