Details

The Hazardous Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2005 relate to the controlled management of hazardous waste from the point of production to the final point of disposal or recovery. There is a requirement for the Secretary of State to review the regulatory provisions in the regulations in relation to England. This is known as a post implementation review.

The Regulatory Policy Committee (RPC) gave a ‘green’ rating to the post implementation review of the regulations on 6 January 2025. This means that we considered the review to be fit for purpose based on our scrutiny of the evidence and analysis presented.

The RPC’s opinion refers to the evidence and analysis presented in the review, not the policy itself.
