England Wales | Active
A ban on the disposal of certain wastes to landfill, for example, liquid waste, certain hazardous wastes and tyres.

The requirement to treat most wastes before disposal to landfill.
The introduction of waste acceptance criteria, which is starting to have a strong influence on the treatment options, particularly for hazardous wastes.
