WASTE DEFINITIONS: UNLOCKING THE DOOR
11th July London,
The definition of waste might not be about to change over night, but this CIWM national seminar will bring you right up-to-date with what revisions are being proposed to the WFD, which will no doubt dramatically effect the future shape of the waste industry. The event also provides a platform for the launch of the EU's waste related Thematic Strategies.
DEFRA will be finalising changes to their definition of waste guidance on Circa 11/94. This work will bring the Circa 11/94 up-to-date with recent ECJ decisions. The Environment Agency is working on further guidance on when a material is and is not a waste using sector specific examples. Key stakeholders will also be examining what these changes will mean in practice.
This event will be of direct relevance to anybody with a stake in the future of wastes management. It will be an opportunity to be informed and to have your opinions heard at the highest level.
