Conclusion (the committee's words)
We heard that permitting processes for new recycling plants are lengthy and that enforcement of legislation is currently insufficient to ensure facilities are adhering to regulation. Both permitting and enforcement are administered by the Environment Agency in England, which we heard faces significant resource challenges. Sufficient resources at the Environment Agency will be of particular importance when the new regulations being consulted on in 2024 are introduced.
