Thursday 11 June, 2pm to 2.45pm

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, CEO Will Rundle will deliver 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 鈥� not just subcontractors, carriers, or brokers.

The session will cover:

• 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 鈥渃ause or permit鈥� liability under the Environmental Permitting Regulations 2016
• The supply chain blind spot between having a compliance policy and having defensible compliance evidence.

You will learn what regulators and investigators look for in practice, including verification of Waste Transfer Notes, carrier registrations, facility permits, and correct EWC coding, and why errors or gaps can translate into Landfill Tax exposure, civil sanctions, criminal penalties, and reputational risk.

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 鈥渂est practice鈥� to unavoidable.

Speakers:

• Rhodri Williams, Technical and Sustainability Director, HBF (session host)
• Will Rundle, CEO, Nexus ReGen
