Julie James, Minister for Climate Change
Today (20 July 2023) I am issuing further information relating to the Workplace Recycling Reforms, which will require all business, public and third sector workplaces to separate key recyclable materials in the same way householders already do across the majority of Wales. This action is key to tackling the climate and nature emergency, and represents significant progress towards a stronger, greener economy as we committed to within our Programme for Government.
My previous statement on the workplace recycling regulations issued on 27 April 2023, accompanied the publication of the summaries of the responses to the public consultations held between November 2022 and February 2023 on both the draft Code of Practice and proposed approach to enforcement and sanctions.
- Summary of responses - Separate collection of waste materials for recycling: a code of practice for Wales
- Summary of responses - Proposals for enforcing business, public and third sector recycling regulations in Wales
