WASTE OILS DIRECTIVE CONSULTATION
The waste oils directive is the oldest piece of European waste legislation. This consultation seeks to establish whether its requirements have been covered elsewhere in European legislation and whether the prioritisation of regeneration of oils above other treatment methods is justified on environmental grounds.

PLANNING TO GET BETTER A CIWM seminar - Waste Planning Guidance Review - 8th (London) and 22nd (North) February 2005
It's crucial that the waste and resource management sectors get the planning system needed to allow the next generation of facilities to be built. Landfill - dominated strategies are a thing of the past - now we need different solutions to re-use, recycle and recover to the max. This will involve more sites (maybe 5 to 10 for each landfill we do without), different technologies and locations closer to where the waste is being produced. The planning system has to be fit to deliver this new world in time.
This seminar will help practitioners to hear what's proposed and to have their say. It will help shape this industry for the next 20 years. If you have a stake in this future - you should be there.
