Er bod y ffigurau hynny yn drawiadol, mae llawer o waith o’n blaenau eto cyn cyrraedd y targed o ailgylchu 70 y cant o’n gwastraff erbyn 2025. Dyna pam Cymru yw’r wlad gyntaf yn y DU i gyflwyno targedau statudol ar gyfer ailgylchu gwastraff trefol. Roedd y ddeddfwriaeth hon yn rhan o Fesur Gwastraff (Cymru), a gafodd ei basio gan y Cynulliad ym mis Tachwedd 2010. Hwn oedd y Mesur cyntaf i gael ei basio o dan Orchymyn Cymhwysedd Deddfwriaethol (LCO) yr Amgylchedd.
Impressive though these achievements are, we still have a long way to go to reach 70 per cent recycling by 2025, which is why Wales has become the first country in the UK to introduce statutory targets for municipal recycling. This legislation formed part of the Waste (Wales) Measure, which was passed by the Assembly in November 2010 as the first Measure under the Environment Legislative Competence Order (LCO).
