Overview: Waste management legislation is complex and rapidly changing; failure to comply and to manage wastes effectively can result in serious pollution and this has been recognised in the establishment of a waste crime unit within the Environment Agency.
It is therefore important to ensure that you have a good
understanding of the key legal requirements AND their implications for day to
day wastes management. In 2021/22 we have seen the introduction of the new
Environment Act which contains amongst other features new systems for tracking
waste under duty of care that will obviate the need for controlled waste
transfer notes. At the same time concerns over description of wastes,
especially those from waste screening activities (e.g. trommel fines) have led
to extensive audits of a large number of permitted waste facilities by the
Environment Agency. This course will examine these changes in detail and will
put them into the context of currently applicable controls and will provide a
summary of their potential impacts. Topics to be addressed will include:
- An update on wastes
classification, duty of care and related guidance, including developments
in waste tracking;
- Potential changes to waste
carriers controls;
- Potential changes to a
range of standard rule permits, especially those relating to biowaste
treatment.
- A summary of the
Environment Act (2021) and potential implications in relation to wastes
legislation;
- An update on key changes
to Regulatory Position Statements and Low Risk Waste Guidance;
- A summary of recent
changes to hazardous waste controls, especially relating to separation
requirements
The material is presented in a way that identifies the legal obligations of all those managing waste and provides practical solutions for waste management practices in the light of new legal requirements. By attending this seminar, delegates can make an immediate impact on waste compliance practices within their organisation helping to provide confidence that legal obligations are being met, and that associated risks are being managed effectively and efficiently.
Who Should Attend? All those with responsibility for ensuring waste legal compliance within their business and those who are seeking to improve their understanding of current and recently emerging waste law. The course will be relevant to new practitioners and those with more experience, but who may have little formal training.
On completion of the course, attendees will:
- Have an appreciation of potentially important
changes to waste legislation and impacts on day-to-day waste management; and
- Appreciate the potential technical and cost
implications of changes to waste permitting and exemptions;
- WASTE MANAGEMENT LAW AND PRACTICE UPDATE 2022*

It’s the first time I have attended a remote training session with EBIS and first time I have used Zoom as I use MSTeams through work. I was impressed with the networking capabilities and being able to join groups within the session – Federal Mogul
Pitched just at the right level and worked well as a virtual course. Speaker was very knowledgeable and was also aware of the need for short breaks! – Bumi Armada
Excellent course. Perfectly pitched course which I’m sure everybody took something away from – Kingspan

Speaker was very knowledgeable on the subject matter and made the course interesting any enjoyable, which can be hard do when you are doing it remotely, via a laptop screen. The breakout sessions certainly help with this. - Mondelez UK Confectionery Production Limited
The course was very informative and exactly what I was looking for in terms of information. The course presenter was clear, concise and friendly and ensured that, although the course pertained to English and Welsh law, the variations in the Scottish and NI law were explained for the members who were based outside of England and Wales. The content was excellent and the course was interesting and the perfect length. The course was well laid out and completed successfully even with the hurdle of virtual presenting. – Willerby Landscapes Ltd
