Regulations & Policies for Waste Management
NZ regulations and policies address waste management through acts like the Waste Minimisation Act (2008) and regulations governing production, handling, and transport under various legislative frameworks. Consent requirements for biosolids from regional councils like HRC and GWRC are outlined, along with industry restrictions primarily affecting Fonterra. The NES for Contaminated Land Management impacts biosolids and sludges, while hazardous activities regulated under HAIL include waste recycling, treatment, and disposal.
