Launch of consultations related to the Business, Public and Third Sector Recycling Regulations

We will be holding an online information session on Tuesday, 7 February at 3pm to 4pm. If you are interested in attending please email RecyclingReformsConsultations@gov.wales to register your interest. 

The Welsh Government is consulting on the Business, Public and Third Sector Recycling Regulations which are due to come into force in October 2023. The proposed reforms will increase the quality and level of recycling from businesses, the public and third sectors in Wales, through ensuring they separate key recyclable materials in the same way the majority of Wales’ householders already do. 

This will make a significant contribution to our action on the climate and nature emergency, delivering against our commitment in Beyond Recycling and Net Zero Wales to bring forward these reforms to realise significant carbon savings and positive benefits for the economy.

Separate collection of waste materials for recycling: a code of practice for Wales

The Welsh Government are seeking views on whether the code of practice provides sufficient guidance on how to meet the separation requirements for the forthcoming non-domestic recycling regulations. For further information please select the following link Separate collection of waste materials for recycling: a code of practice for Wales 

Submit your comments by 15 February 2023.

Following on from two previous consultation exercises in 2013/14 and in 2019, these consultations seek views on the detail of the draft code of practice (“the code”) and the practical guidance it provides on how to meet the separation requirements; the proposed phasing in of certain waste streams; and proposals for enforcing the business, public and third sector recycling regulations. Your feedback is vital to informing the final drafting of the code and the proposed regulations.

Once all responses have been considered, a summary of responses will be published on our website.

Any queries should be sent to the Ymgyngoriadau Diwygiadau Ailgylchu / Recycling Reforms Consultations mailbox:
