The ESA represents the UK’s waste management and secondary resources industry in both the private and public sectors.
Roy Hathaway was responsible for UK policy on waste regulation and commercial & industrial waste at Defra from 2006 until recently.
He has worked on a wide range of environmental policy issues – including marine pollution, flood defence, and sustainable development.
ESA director general, Barry Dennis, said: “We are delighted to have someone of Roy’s experience and calibre working with us.
“As the voice of the waste and resource management industry, ESA is looking to play a constructive role in the debate over how Britain can become more resource efficient and low carbon. Roy’s contribution will strengthen our ability to do this.”
