Waste compliance is no longer an environmental admin task. It is increasingly treated as a financial crime risk, with new enforcement capability, intelligence led surveillance, and serious consequences for organisations that cannot evidence what happened to their waste.
In this HBF webinar, Nexus ReGen CEO Will Rundle delivered a briefing on what has changed in the UK waste crime and enforcement landscape, and why the risk sits with home builders and principal contractors – not just subcontractors, carriers, or brokers.
The session covered:
- The regulatory shift
- The scale of enforcement action
- The practical implications of duty of care under Section 34 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990, including “cause or permit” liability under the Environmental Permitting Regulations 2016
- The supply chain blind spot between having a compliance policy and having defensible compliance evidence.
With Digital Waste Tracking becoming mandatory from October 2026 for permitted receiving sites, and wider rollout following, the need for a centralised, auditable chain of custody is moving from “best practice” to unavoidable.
Speakers:
- Rhodri Williams, Technical and Sustainability Director, HBF (session host)
- Will Rundle, CEO, Nexus ReGen
