Frameworks for converting waste into non-waste products
Check if you can use a quality protocol or resource framework to achieve 'end of waste' status for certain waste derived materials.
Quality protocols and resource frameworks explain when a waste derived material can be regarded as a non-waste product and no longer subject to waste controls.
They aim to produce high quality products from waste materials to promote greater recovery and recycling.
If there is no resource framework or quality protocol you can use, check the guidance on how to聽check if your material is waste. This explains how to assess the waste status of your material if you are planning to produce a new product from waste.
