Waste Classification Changes

With the forthcoming changes to waste classification there will be a slight delay in the EU Regulation being fully implemented in England. New domestic Regulations are required, but have been slowed by the general election. The Environment Agency recognise the potential inconvenience and burden on waste producers and the industry, and have provided a regulatory position that allows the adoption of the new classification criteria early, if users chose to.
