Consultation on Hazardous Waste Strategy
This consultation seeks views on a proposed Strategy for Hazardous Waste Management in England.
The proposed strategy has been conceived to underpin the practical application of the revised Waste Framework Directive 2008/98/EC (WFD) and in particular the requirements that apply to hazardous waste.
Clarity is needed on how the requirements of the revised WFD should be implemented, particularly the revised waste hierarchy with respect to the management of hazardous waste. The principal aim of the proposed strategy is to deliver sound and, where necessary, improved hazardous waste treatment.
It is expected that associated hazardous waste management practices and new infrastructure will meet existing regulatory requirements.
