Tuesday, 6 May 2008
ImageCL:AIRE would like to highlight the forthcoming deadline of Thursday 15th May 2008 for your feedback on a new draft voluntary Code of Practice (CoP) which answers the thorny question of when materials are waste and when treated wastes cease to be waste.

The CoP has been prepared in consultation with and including contributions from representatives from the development and remediation industries and the Environment Agency.
