The Waste (Materials Facilities) (Scotland) Regulations 2024 (2024 No. 191).

These Regulations amend the Pollution Prevention and Control (Scotland) Regulations 2012 (the 2012 Regulations) and the Waste Management Licensing (Scotland) Regulations 2011 (the 2011 Regulations). In particular under Regulation 2 regulation 32A of the 2012 Regulations is substituted requiring SEPA to ensure that a permit granted or varied on or after 1 April 2025 which authorises the operation of a materials facility contains a condition requiring the operator of the installation of which the facility forms part to comply with the Code of Practice on Sampling and Reporting at Materials Facilities issued by the Scottish Ministers on 24 June 2024 (the Materials Facilities Code), replacing the previous Code issued on 2 March 2015. Regulation 5 substitutes regulation 13B of the 2011 Regulations to require that waste management licences which authorise the treatment of dry recyclable waste at a materials facility granted or varied on or after 1 April 2025 must contain a condition requiring the licence holder to comply with the Materials Facilities Code. Regulation 6 inserts new regulation 17A into the 2011 Regulations to require that materials facilities carrying on an exempt activity set out paragraph 11 or 17 of schedule 1 of the 2011 Regulations must, as a condition of that exemption, comply with the Materials Facilities Code.
