Synopsis
These regulations will amend the Hazardous Waste (Wales) Regulations 2005. Consignee returns submitted by waste recipients to producers or holders of hazardous waste will need to reflect the Recast Persistent Organic Pollutants Regulation (EU) 2019/1021.
Where waste streams received include persistent organic pollutants (POPs) above the respective threshold, the return must state that this material is a POP.
Summary
The Hazardous Waste (Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2019 will amend the Hazardous Waste (Wales) Regulations 2005 on 14 August 2019.
What will be updated?
Schedule 8 of the Hazardous Waste (Wales) Regulations 2005 states information that must be provided in consignee returns to producers or holders of hazardous waste. Consignees are the recipients of hazardous waste. These returns are required to be provided within a month of the end of the quarter the hazardous waste consignment took place in.
The 2019 regulations replace Schedule 8. This adds references to the 2019 Persistent Organic Pollutants Regulation (EU) 2019/1021. Where waste streams received include persistent organic pollutants (POPs) above the respective threshold, the return must state that this material is a POP.
