LEGISLATION: INTRODUCTION

The burden of legislation regarding waste is becoming ever more onerous. The government set out its vision for sustainable waste management in Waste Strategy 2000, the national waste strategy.

The responsibility for industry, local authorities and households to be aware of their obligations and manage waste in a sustainable way, optimising recycling and reuse as well as limiting production, forms a core part of Government policy to protect the environment.The burden of legislation regarding waste is becoming ever more onerous.

The responsibility for industry, local authorities and households to be aware of their obligations and manage waste in a sustainable way, optimising recycling and reuse as well as limiting production, forms a core part of Government policy to protect the environment.

LEGISLATION: LANDFILL DIRECTIVE

The Landfill (England and Wales) Regulations came into force in June 2002 and gave effect to the Landfill Directive (1999/31/EC). The aim of the Regulations and the Directive was to "reduce as far as possible the negative effects on the environment during the life cycle of landfill".
As such, a number of changes have been introduced to both landfill sites and waste management.

The effect of the Regulations was to divide landfills into three types - hazardous, non-hazardous and inert - and also restricted or banned the landfill of certain types of wastes over a pre-defined period.

The following waste types are or will be banned from landfill disposal:

- Any waste in liquid form (this excludes sludge);
- Any waste that is explosive, corrosive, oxidising, flammable or highly flammable;
- Hospital or clinical waste;
- Chemical substances from laboratories;
- Whole tyres from 16th July 2003;
- Shredded tyres from 16th July 2006.

In addition, from 16 July 2005, loads containing gypsum based products (plasterboard) must be no more than 10% of the total load disposed of in landfill.

Inert landfills can only accept wastes that meet the definition of inert waste in the Landfill Directive "waste that does not undergo any significant physical, chemical or biological transformations". Inert waste includes fibreglass, glass, concrete, brick, tiles and ceramics, soil and stones (but excludes topsoil).

The Landfill Directive imposes targets for the reduction of biodegradable waste to landfill. Based on 1995 inputs, local authorities are required to divert household waste levels; 25% reduction by 2010, 50% reduction by 2013 and 65% reduction by 2020. Failure to meet these targets could result in fines of up to £180 million per year.

The Government has also introduced statutory targets for local authorities for the recycling and composting of household waste: 25% by 2005/06, 30% by 2010 and 33% by 2015.

The Landfill Regulations will affect all producers of waste through the application of the European Waste Catalogue. This categorises waste into 20 main groups and approximately 900 codes. The Regulations also introduce a wide range of controls to limit what can be landfilled which will lead to fewer landfill options being available to waste collectors.

To encourage industries and households to seek alternatives to landfill, the standard rate of landfill tax is set to increase by £3 per year until it reaches £35 by 2010, at which point the tax will be reviewed.

The Government has introduced the LATS (Landfill Allowance Trading Scheme) to help local authorities to hit the diversion from landfill targets by providing a legal framework for the allocation of trading, banking and borrowing of landfill allowances to each waste disposal authority in England.

LEGISLATION: PACKAGING DIRECTIVE

The main objective of the directive is to see packaging and packaging waste minimised as far as possible, to see greater incidences of reuse of packaging items and to see a significant increase in the recovery and in particular the recycling of packaging waste.

The Producer Responsibility Obligations (Packaging Waste) Regulations 1997 (“the packaging Regulations”) are intended to encourage the minimisation of packaging and packaging waste, incentivise reuse and increase the recovery and recycling of packaging waste. The amount the packaging waste producers have to recover and recycle is determined, in part, by the amount of packaging they handle.

The packaging Regulations place obligations on certain businesses who satisfy two threshold tests to recover and recycle specified tonnages of packaging each year. Packaging waste includes:

- Cardboard and Paper
- Glass (Bottles)
- Metal (Cans)
- Plastic (Film and Bottles)
- Wood (Crates and Pallets)

Each year there are recovery and recycling targets for UK businesses to meet that are designed to enable the UK to meet the recovery and recycling targets in the Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive by 31 December 2008 as required. The business targets exclude a number of smaller businesses who do not fall under the requirements.

The national targets that the UK must meet in 2008 are; overall recovery 60%, overall recycling 55%; material specific recycling, paper 60%, glass 60%, metals 50%, plastic 22.5%, wood 15%.

LEGISLATION: WEEE DIRECTIVE

The European Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive became European law in February 2003, setting collection, recycling and recovery targets for all types of electrical products.

The Directive must be implemented in European Member (including the UK) states by August 2004. Collection, treatment and financing systems for WEEE must be in place by September 2005 and the first collection and treatment targets are to be attained by December 2006.

Key points of the new legislation include:

- A compulsory household collection target of 4 kg, by the end of 2006, with a new target to be established by the end of 2008.
- Compulsory producer responsibility for financing the management of consumer electronic and electrical waste.
- Producers able to use collective or individual financing schemes.
- Heavy metals and toxic flame retardants used in the manufacture of appliances will be banned from July 2006.
- Member States must take measures to minimise the disposal of WEEE by consumers as unsorted municipal waste.
- Producers banned from preventing re-use or recycling of products with "clever chips". However, printer cartridges are classed as consumables under the Directive and are therefore not within its scope.
- Costs of treating historical waste to be shared proportionately between producers on the market when the costs arise.
- Up-front financial guarantees to be made by producers to guard against costs arising from orphan WEEE.

JBT Waste Services is able to take any electrical item as long as it is not hazardous. The means we are able to accept washing machines, toasters, and cookers but we cannot accept flourescent lamp tubes, television and computer monitors, computers, batteries and fridges.

LEGISLATION: ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION ACT

The Environmental Protection Act provides the main statutory framework in relation to waste. The Act:

- Defines the waste;
- Outlines the roles and functions of the waste collection authorities, the disposal authorities and the Environment Agency;
- Establishes the criminal offences in relation to waste;
- Sets out the waste management licensing system;
- Establishes the statutory duty of care in relation to waste.

The Act makes it an offence to:

- Deposit controlled waste;
- Knowingly permit controlled waste to be deposited in or on land;
- Keep, treat or dispose of controlled waste;
- Knowingly cause or permit controlled waste to be kept, treated or disposed of, unless a waste management licence or appropriate
permit has been issued which authorities the operating in question.

For JBT Waste Services, this means we must ensure that all waste movements are covered by a waste transfer note, all operators bringing waste onto our site must hold an appropriate waste carriers licence and we are only able to accept waste that is listed on our waste management licence.

LEGISLATION: HAZARDOUS WASTE REGULATIONS

The Hazardous Waste Regulations were implemented on 16 July 2005. The two main requirements of the Regulations are that Hazardous waste producers will be required to pre-register before any Hazardous waste can be collected from their premises and the Regulations apply the European Waste Catalogue codes of Hazardous wastes that will affect a much wider range of products.

The key requirements of the Regulations are highlighted below:

- Hazardous waste producers are now required to determine whether their waste is hazardous. The waste may require a waste acceptance test, which will analyse the chemical composition and the potential to cause pollution.
- Any site producing hazardous waste must be registered with the Environment Agency. It is an offence for hazardous waste to be collected from a site that has not been registered or is exempt.
- The Regulations identify the European Waste Catalogue list of Hazardous wastes for the purpose of collection. The Regulations now classify items such as PC monitors, PC base units, fridges, TV’s, oily rags and separately collected fluorescent tubes to be collected under the Hazardous Waste notification and documentation procedures.
- Each site producing hazardous waste requires a separate registration although multiple sites can be registered on the same notification.
- Certain sites are exempt if they expect to produce less that 200kg of hazardous waste a year; these include agricultural premises, office premises, shops, premises where WEEE is collected, dental, veterinary and medical practices and ships.
- Domestic waste is excluded from the Hazardous Waste Regulations on collection from the domestic property, but is then subject to the Regulations if it is separately collected or if it consists of asbestos.
- Under the Regulations the previous Section 62 paperwork is replaced by a consignment note. Each consignment note requires a fee to be paid by the consignee to the Environment Agency.
- The Regulations ban the mixing of Hazardous waste and state that it must be stored separately on site.
- Registration as a Hazardous Waste producer places a statutory duty on the Environment Agency to inspect the site where hazardous waste arises.
