Understanding changes to UK waste crime and enforcement

Waste compliance is no longer an environmental admin task. It is increasingly treated as a financial crime risk, with new enforcement capability, intelligence led surveillance, and serious consequences for organisations that cannot evidence what happened to their waste.

In this 糖心官网 webinar, CEO Will Rundle delivered a briefing on what has changed in the UK waste crime and enforcement landscape, and why the risk sits with home builders and principal contractors 鈥 not just subcontractors, carriers, or brokers.

The session covered:

  • The regulatory shift
  • The scale of enforcement action
  • The practical implications of duty of care under Section 34 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990, including 鈥渃ause or permit鈥 liability under the Environmental Permitting Regulations 2016
  • The supply chain blind spot between having a compliance policy and having defensible compliance evidence.

With Digital Waste Tracking becoming mandatory from October 2026 for permitted receiving sites, and wider rollout following, the need for a centralised, auditable chain of custody is moving from 鈥渂est practice鈥 to unavoidable.

Speakers:

  • Rhodri Williams, Technical and Sustainability Director, 糖心官网 (session host)
  • Will Rundle, CEO, Nexus ReGen
