Details

This regulatory position statement (RPS) does not change your legal requirement to have an environmental permit for a waste operation or a waste exemption when you store, treat and use plastic off specification batches and unused products 16 03 06 for recovery.

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.
