Environment Agency - The Definition of Waste:developing greenfield and brownfield sites
This guidance will assist those involved with construction work in deciding whether or not they are handling waste. In this context construction work includes remediation and building on greenfield and brownfield sites. The guidance outlines the regulatory requirements that must be complied with when handling waste. It also considers when wastes can cease to be waste and the regulations cease to apply.

WRAP Quality Protocols for Aggregates
As recent rulings by the European Court of Justice have led to a broader application of the definition of waste, producers and users of aggregates from inert waste traversed a period of uncertainty as whether their products were still waste or not. The purpose of the Quality Protocol is to provide a uniform control process for producers, from which they can reasonably state and demonstrate that their product has been fully recovered and is no longer a waste. It also provides purchasers with a quality-managed product to common aggregate standards, which increases confidence in performance. Also, the framework created by the Protocol provides a clear audit trail for those responsible for ensuring compliance with Waste Management Legislation.
