Clarified in rule: 1.2 that to meet the waste hierarchy you must use appropriate measures to prevent, reuse, recycle or recover the waste your operation produces for export or disposal; 2.1.1 R13 How long you can store the waste that the Environment Agency will consider your place of storage a permanent facility if it stores a succession of temporary waste for recovery for more than 3 years; 2.1.3 Waste recovery requirements that where you use a waste material instead of a non-waste material you would otherwise have to use that the waste is being used in the same way as the substitute would have been; improved and simplified the text on the requirement for a clear benefit.
