Details
This regulatory position statement (RPS) does not change your legal requirement to have an environmental permit for a waste operation or a waste exemption when you store, treat and use plastic ‘off specification batches and unused products’ 16 03 06 for recovery.
However, the Environment Agency will not normally take enforcement action if you do not comply with these legal requirements if you meet the requirements in the RPS.
The regulatory position does not apply to any other legal requirements.

The regulatory position statement has been updated to remove reference to 15 02 03 (as RPS C30 now exclusively deals with personal protective equipment (PPE)) and so it uses the latest template.
