Biowaste permits: review to improve environmental outcomes

The Environment Agency wants to work with the biowaste treatment sector to contribute to the government’s:

• 25 Year Environment Plan
• Clean Growth Strategy
• Clean Air Strategy

We want to make sure that any amendments made to the permitting of biowaste facilities:

• benefits society
• reduces environmental risk
• are affordable

We’re asking for evidence to gather views about the permitting framework and some areas of the available guidance.

We’ll use your responses to help inform changes to our permit conditions and standard rules requirements.
