Article 6(a) of the Landfill Directive states that "only waste that has been subject to treatment [shall be] landfilled", a requirement that applied to the deposit of hazardous waste from 16 July 2004, and which will now be extended to all wastes destined for landfill (with some exceptions) from 30 October 2007.
From this date landfill operators can only deposit waste that has undergone a "treatment" process that passes the Environment Agency's so-called three-point test.
In contrast to the intense discussions surrounding the introduction of other aspects of the Landfill Directive (waste acceptance criteria, landfill bans, diversion of biodegradable municipal waste) with dire warnings of lack of treatment capacity and ultimately of market failure, Regulation 10 of the Landfill (England and Wales) Regulations 2002, enacting Article 6(a), appears to have crept up on the UK with remarkably little fanfare.
