Article summary

The Environment Agency (EA) has published its response to the consultation on the regulation of international waste shipments (IWS) sent under notification controls. The EA has decided to proceed with the ‘new system’ to support a sustainable regulatory system that boosts compliance and reduces delays in processing notifications. The EA has, with the consultation response in mind, published updated guidance on the ‘Waste (miscellaneous) charging scheme’ and ‘Waste: export and import’. The amended charging system is in force from 1 April 2024.
