Details
This regulatory position statement (RPS) does not change your legal requirement to make every reasonable effort to avoid contaminating other waste with POPs when you shred waste upholstered domestic seating at a waste treatment site.
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.
