Have your say on cutting red tape in the waste industry

The Government has launched the Cutting Red Tape programme and it is asking the waste & recycling industry to get involved.

'Cutting Red Tape' aims to get rid of unnecessary bureaucracy. It intends to shine a light on out-of-date legislation and any confusing implementation, such as unhelpful government guidance or needlessly complex inspection regimes, to ensure they make sense. It builds on the successes of 'Red Tape Challenge' and Business/Focus on Enforcement.

The Cutting Red Tape programme allows Business to tell Government how it can cut red tape and reduce bureaucratic barriers to growth and productivity within different sectors, including the waste sector. This review is seeking evidence of barriers in the law, how it is implemented and enforcement activity which is carried out on the ground. It aims to identify ways of removing unnecessary barriers whilst also maintaining the protection of human health and the environment.

The waste review will run until 14th September 2015.
