This book deals conclusively with British waste regulation law. This legislation is relevant to almost every commercial and industrial activity. The law is complex and since 1994 has been subject to considerable changes, amendment and institutional restructuring. This practical narrative guide takes into account the implementation of Part II of the Environmental Protection Act 1990, the Environment Act 1995 and the work of the Environment Agency. In addition, it deals comprehensively with the Special Waste Regulations 1996 and accompanying guidance. It draws on the author's practical knowledge of British waste regulation law and contains a comprehensive account of the legislation plus a detailed interpretation of the relevant statutory provisions and associated case law. Its detailed treatment of the issues involved will enable practitioners to feel confident in what is a complicated area of law.
