Compliance & Legislation
We understand that to recycle effectively and responsibly together we need to comply with national legislation on your behalf. This not only ensures that we meet the highest standards, but also provides proof that you are taking the right recycling actions.
At Casepak we meet all of the government’s compliance and legislative requirements and can help you with more complex areas such as the purchase of Packaging Recovery Notes. Our facilities are compliant with all Environment Agency regulations, we also have a Waste Carrier’s Licence and meet Duty of Care legislation.
Casepak develops customised recycling and waste management programmes tailored to the specific needs of your business. These solutions ensure compliance with key waste regulations whilst supporting improved environmental performance.
Environmental Permits
Environmental Permits apply to more complex waste handling operations. It is essential that your waste and recycling is managed by an organisation that holds a current Environmental Permit.
A waste handling company needs an Environmental Permit to operate a regulated waste facility and must apply to, and be approved by, the Environment Agency to qualify for a permit. The company must continue to meet the conditions set down by the Environmental Permit to remain operational.
Casepak has an Environmental Permit for the Materials Recycling Facility.
Waste Exemptions
Waste exemptions apply to specific types of low risk waste handling operations. Exemptions are supplied by the Environment Agency and mean that a waste handling permit is not needed where the environmental risks are low. Casepak can help you to understand the categories of waste exemptions available, the materials that they can be applied to, and how and who should make an application.
Casepak holds a Waste Exemption Certificate for the Collections and Processing Facility.

When you appoint a company or organisation to collect and transport your recycled materials, it is important to ask if they have a Waste Carrier’s Licence. Only those companies that have this Environment Agency-issued licence are permitted to transport your waste materials. Please note, if you plan to transport your own waste, you will also need to apply for a Licence.
Casepak holds a Waste Carrier’s Licence (Licence CBDU92580) and is certified to transport recyclable and waste materials.
