ECJ EUROPEAN Cleaning Journal

The UK manufacturer and distributor trade body the Cleaning & Hygiene Suppliers Association (CHSA) is to host an expert-led webinar addressing the growing complexities around waste management. 

The one-hour session, entitled 'Introduction to Waste Management - Understanding and Managing your Risk' will take place on June 24. The objective is to provide a structured, practical overview of the legal, regulatory and operational landscape shaping waste management in the UK.

CHSA says waste management is evolving rapidly, with Digital Waste Tracking on the horizon and the arrival of Simpler Recycling. Customers expect compliance to all regulations and adherence to best practice. Assuming the waste service provider has it in hand could be costly, with financial and criminal penalties liable, whether or not the error was intentional.

The experts presenting are:

• Tina Benfield, technical manager at the Chartered Institution of Wastes Management (CIWM), who will cover the current landscape, the impact of Simpler Recycling and the implications of closed-loop schemes.

• Craig Burman, slicitor at Burman Environmental Law, who will cover legal definitions, obligations under environmental legislation, duty of care and potential offences and penalties.

• Mike Hibbert, an experienced waste management consultant, who will provide practical insights into implementing robust systems and managing contractor relationships effectively, including the key questions to ask.
