The Welsh Government is introducing new regulations requiring all businesses, the public sector and third-sector organisations in Wales to separate recyclable materials like most householders do now. These Regulations are designed to improve the quality and quantity of waste collections across Wales, most notably by mandating that food waste is separated out and collected separately when any business generates more than just 5kg/ week. The new regulations came into force on 6 April 2024, therefore it is important for businesses to familiarise themselves with their implications. Commercial food waste legislation has been in place in Scotland since 2014, and the legislation being introduced in Wales is likely to follow similar guidelines. Businesses generating more than 5kg of food waste every week will likely have to comply with the new regulations. By staying informed and acting now, your business can set a positive example and be at the forefront of environmentally friendly food waste management. Adhering to the new legislation being introduced in Wales is crucial, as it benefits the environment and positively impacts your business.
