Hazardous Waste Forum
The Hazardous Waste Forum was established by the UK Government in December
2002 to bring together key stakeholders to advise on the way forward on
the management of hazardous waste.
During 2004 and 2005 the UK will implement the Landfill Directive, the revised EU Hazardous Waste List and other changes to hazardous waste management. This will precipitate significant changes involving: considerably fewer landfills being authorised to accept hazardous waste, and changes to classification schemes that will increase the quantities of hazardous waste arising.
