NEW BUSINESS WASTE LEGISLATION – HOW WILL THIS AFFECT YOUR BUSINESS?
From the 31st March 2025 a new set of legislation commences called “Simpler Recycling”; aimed at businesses of ten or more employers the government aims to reform the waste system and maximise recycling potential from the economy.
WHAT IS CHANGING?
WHY ARE THE LAWS CHANGING?
Over the course of a single year the UK discards upwards of 9.5 million tonnes of food waste – with a significant portion of this ending up in landfill! This represents a lost opportunity for us to recycle this waste by way of anaerobic digestion that produces valuable biofuel to produce power. Not recycling these organic materials also has a negative impact on environment pushing up our greenhouse gas emissions.
The segregation of non-food waste collected also offers and excellent opportunity to maximise our recycling ability and reuse waste by way of treatment to form new products, materials or even fuel power by way of a biomass boiler.
WHAT HAPPENS IF WE DO NOT COMPLY WITH THESE NEW LAWS?
According to the guidelines issued by the government failure to comply with these requirements by 31st March 2025 means you may be at risk of receiving a compliance notice from the Environment Agency.
It is an offence to fail to comply with a compliance notice and enforcement action may be taken against you in line with the Environment Agency Enforcement and Sanctions Policy.
