Policy
Prior to the UK's exit from the EU, waste policy and legislation was primarily developed within Brussels and then adopted within the various regulatory statutes throughout the UK.
However, as waste has moved away from control in Westminister to each of the Devolved Administrations of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland the policy framework has become more complex as the individual nations of the UK take more control over the management of waste and recycling produced within their geographical boundaries.
This category lists the current waste and recycling policies relevant to each of the Nations throughout the UK.

The list below captures all of the policy arrangements linked through WikiWaste for the four countries of the UK, and will be added to and split by country (UK wide, England, Scotland and Northern Ireland and Wales) as the platform expands and develops.
Purpose
Policy may or may not translate into legislation, taxation or economic tools to drive change, but ultimately policy sets the context and ‘direction of travel’ for governments of the time, and so are often superseded as new governments and policy makers are elected.
Approach
This category captures main policies that exists in the delivery of infrastructure and the wider waste sector in the UK, but is not a comprehensive reference list at the current time.
