LRS Consultancy is delighted to invite you to another of its informative FREE industry events to engage professionals in the resource efficiency debate. We will address the threats and opportunities implicit in the TEEP requirements and provide you with an understanding of what you should do to ensure your recycling services meet government guidance and TEEP tests.
Following the revised Waste Framework Directive amendments, Defra has recently written to all local authorities to raise awareness of the potential consequences of the separate collection obligation for recyclates, which comes into effect from January 2015. Waste Collection and Disposal Authorities, alongside their contractors, are starting to think about the impacts on existing services, which could bring a step change to the way materials are handled across the country.
