EA Waste

An Environment Agency (EA) waste license, also known as an environmental permit, is an official authorisation issued by the UK’s Environment Agency. It allows companies or individuals to legally handle, store, transport, and dispose of different types of waste. This license ensures that waste management activities are carried out in a way that minimises environmental impact and complies with regulations.
In the context of waste licenses, “registration tiers” refer to different levels or categories of waste activities. There are different tiers based on the type and scale of waste management operations. Each tier corresponds to specific types of waste activities and the associated regulatory requirements. Lower-tier activities might involve basic waste handling and storage, while higher-tier activities could include more complex processes that have a greater potential impact on the environment. The distinction between registration tiers helps tailor the regulations to the level of risk and environmental impact associated with the waste activities being carried out.
