- 1. Unique UK-NL collaboration: e-tool for end-of-waste Diana Bradford Environment Agency 2nd March 2015
- 2. waste production residue (non-waste) end of waste by- product What is end of waste? • markets • product specifications • processing • environmental and human health risks Assess: £s £s
- 3. Why end of waste matters • economic • sales revenue £15-£30m and landfill cost savings £4m over 10 years • environmental •24,000 tonnes per year diverted from landfill • resources •domestically-sourced phosphates, not quarried • carbon savings •20,000 tonnes over 10 years meat and bone meal ash as a fertiliser

- 5. Case by case submissions Regulator Applicant Quality of applications Lack of clarity Resource requirements Length of time to review Dilution v Recovery Robustness of opinion National requirements International trading
- 6. EQual programme • EU Life funded programme on end of waste “Improving confidence in waste-derived products” • IsItWaste? web tool – end of waste assessment

IsItWaste? web tool • User perspective: – Self-assess, with submit to Regulator option – Summary report • Regulator perspective – Improved content and layout of submissions – Clearer guidance so businesses “do the right thing” – Supports training for staff, improves consistency • Purchaser perspective – Confidence in the waste-derived product – Report is auditable

Hinweis der Redaktion
- A new tool which has been developed jointly by the Environment Agency and Rijkswaterstaat.
- The status of a material has significant implications for businesses and society. Regulation of waste handling, transport and disposal is required to ensure it is not just discarded somewhere causing environmental and health problems. Significant opportunities exist for businesses to turn wastes into useful products, reducing costs, increasing revenues and raising profits. But these products must pass several tests before they can be taken out of waste.
- Here is an example from one company using meat and bone meal ash as a fertiliser. We need to encourage the potential to be realised, whilst also protecting the environment.
- EU End of Waste Regulations (from Article 6(1) WFD) set out the requirements for specific waste streams. – so far: scrap metal (2011), glass cullet (2012) and copper scrap (2013) . EoW regulations are good because they are the same for all, but they are difficult to set. If there are no EU Regs for a specific waste stream, Article 6(4) allows Member States to use national case law – the UK had adopted this approach. In the UK we have 3 ways to demonstrate end of waste: QPs are key process frameworks for specific waste streams . We have 12 QPs at the moment. CL:AIRE is similar it its outcome to QPs in relation to when end of waste occurs for materials excavated in the context of development of land Case by case basis
- We have a national panel for individual case submissions. There are about 60 submissions each year. There are some common issues with many of these assessments.
- EQual is Ensuring the Quality of waste-derived products. There are several products from the EQual programme – the IsItWaste? tool is the most significant in terms of European interest. We have several partners - EA, Rijkswaterstaat, NIEA, CIWM, ORG, Energy UK and ESA.
- The tool takes the user through a series of questions for the main areas of assessment (e.g. Markets, Product specifications, Environmental and human health risk assessment). The questions require yes/no type answers and evidence to support these must be given. The tool produces a PDF summary document, which can be submitted to the Regulator for their view.
- There are many benefits from the tool.
- We have completed some EU dissemination on the tool. This includes a workshop with IMPEL members on EQual, and as a result an end of waste regulators’ forum was set up. There remains much interest in TFS and trading. Member States have expressed interest in sharing approaches, guidance and training and supporting businesses. IsItWaste? can provide benefits in terms of transparency, consistency and support tools for business.
