Introduction to Waste Carrier, Broker and Dealer (CBD)
Build the knowledge and confidence to understand changes to CBD regulation
The waste carrier, broker, and dealer (CBD) registration system plays a key role in ensuring waste is handled responsibly and compliantly. Proposed changes in England aim to strengthen regulation, improve transparency, and bring CBD activities more closely in line with environmental permitting requirements.
This short, interactive course provides a clear introduction to these changes and what they mean in practice. In just 15 minutes, you’ll explore how the system is evolving, the benefits of reform, and how organisations can prepare for new expectations.
Designed for accessible, real-world learning, the course equips you with the knowledge to understand regulatory developments and their impact across the waste sector.
