==Introduction==
 
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 became more prevalent when the Government's support/subsidies through the alternative [[Private Finance Initiative]] ([[PFI]]) came to an end.
 
A [[PPP]] approach has been followed by [[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.
 
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 (especially when considering the cost of debt and debt finance in the [[PFI]]), and several have already been removed (i.e. Lancashire) or have had closed with major restructure (i.e. Sheffield and Greater Manchester).
 
==PPP Projects in England==

A [[PPP]] contract was signed between [[Viridor]] and [[Somerset Waste Partnership]] in 2006 as part of the sale of the local authority owned company ([[LAWDC]]) known as [[Wyvern Waste Services Limited]]. This [[PPP]] allowed for the addition of services, and was utilized to contract [[Residual Waste]] tonnage to [[Viridor]]'s [[Avonmouth RRC]] facility, which will commence in 2020.
