Consultation on proposed new guidance on Food Waste Management in Scotland and review of SEPA’s end-of-waste regulatory positions for compost and anaerobic digestate.
The 18th of May 2016 saw SEPA launch the consultation on guidance which sets out obligations along the chain of food waste management in order to achieve high quality recycling. This chain of management includes the waste producer, collection service provider, food waste treatment facility and final user of the food waste derived compost and / or anaerobic digestate.
New waste regulation across Scotland over recent years has led to a significant change in the manner in which waste must be presented for collection and treatment. Stricter targets for food waste recycling have given rise to the opportunity to change the manner in which industry deals with food waste, and how the products of this process can be used.
Albion Environmental Ltd is delighted to be a consultee and encourages all interested parties to offer feedback.
Responses are being sought from all interested parties including food waste producers, collection service providers, food waste treatment facilities and farmers, contractors or land managers involved in the application of food waste derived anaerobic digestate or compost to agricultural land to provide feedback.
