Environmental Permit and Waste Acceptance Criteria - WAC

Cyclife UK operators to an Environmental Permit (ZB3335DP) issued by the Environment Agency

With the permit the Environment Agency issues a supporting document (Compilation of Environment Agency Requirements - CEAR) which places additional conditions on Cyclife UK.  The Permit and associated CEAR enables Cyclife UK to operate and Cyclife UK has established comprehensive arrangements to ensure compliance.

One of these arrangements is the Cyclife UK WAC.  This document establishes detailed criteria for the acceptance and treatment of metallic and other wastes by Cyclife UK at the MRF.  All wastes are subject to a Waste Acceptance Review (WAR) where waste is reviewed against Normal Operating Parameters (NOPs); these parameters are simple, usable and provide a robust basis for identifying metals that are treatable by Cyclife UK.  Where waste is outside NOPs the WAR will consider acceptance and treatment in greater details.
