The UK's landfill tax is the highest in Europe: standard rate £126.15/t (2025/26), rising to £130.75/t (2026/27). C&D waste accounts for approximately 40% of all UK landfill. The EPA 1990 imposes a duty of care on waste producers, with unlimited fines for offences. The Waste Regulations 2011 (SI 2011/988) mandate separate collection of waste streams and application of the waste hierarchy. From March 2025, all businesses in England must separately collect recyclable materials. The 70% C&D waste recovery target is consistently exceeded. Current gate fee of €150/t for mixed waste makes on-site processing the most economically compelling option in Europe.
