Details

This regulatory position statement (RPS) does not change your legal requirement to comply with an environmental permit or waste exemption when you store, de-package, dismantle, treat and use unused waste COVID-19 PPE.

However, the Environment Agency will not normally take enforcement action if you do not comply with these legal requirements if you meet the requirements in the RPS.

The regulatory position does not apply to any other legal requirements.

  1. We have extended the expiry date of this RPS to 31 December 2024. However, we have tightened the conditions so that only sites with an environmental permit or a registered T4 or U9 waste exemption can operate under this RPS.
