Details
This regulatory position statement (RPS) does not change your legal requirement to comply with an environmental permit or waste exemption when you aerobically compost or anaerobically digest insect frass.
However, the Environment Agency will not normally take enforcement action if you do not comply with this legal requirement if you meet the requirements in the RPS.
The regulatory position does not apply to any other legal requirements.
