Consultation Responses

• Consultation on amending the Waste Regulations 2011 on the separate collection of recycling

  The Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2011 transpose the revised Waste Framework Directive 2008/98/EC into England and Wales legislation. However, a Judicial Review had challenged the inclusion of comingled recycling as a form of 'separate collection' in Regulation 13 as being contrary to the Directive's aims and obligations to promote high quality recycling, and a failure to correctly transpose the Directive.

  Defra and the Welsh Government accordingly proposed to amend Regulation 13 to ensure that the Regulations reflect Defra and the Welsh government's understanding of the Directive more clearly. The court granted a six-month stay of the Judicial Review proceedings to do this, until June 2012.
