The remit of the Waste Working Party is to monitor, understand and influence the development of UK waste management law, as well as being UKELA's advocate on waste management law issues. In particular, we are currently contributing to UKELA's input to the transition to a Circular Economy and the implications of Brexit for environmental law.
The Waste Working Party meets quarterly.
The Working Party is open to all UKELA members with experience of waste law. If you would like to join, please contact the group's convenors.
