Consultation on Waste Framework Directive Review

DEFRA invites views on the transposition in England and Wales of key provisions of the revised Waste Framework Directive (WFD) (Directive 2008/98/EC). The revised WFD re-enacts, repeals or revises three existing Directives: the existing WFD; the Waste Oils Directive; and the Hazardous Waste Directive.
