| Short description: |
Semple Fraser has, for the past 18 months, been working with the leading UK waste oils recycling company
- The OSS Group - on one of the most important legal cases of recent years. The case concerns the
notoriously difficult legal complications attending the industrial manufacture of secondary products from
hazardous waste.
The core issue is of fundamental importance, with massive industrial and commercial impact - what are
the legal criteria that have to be met in order to process a waste stream into a non-waste secondary
product or raw material?

The structure of this briefing is as follows:-
> the key “pillars” of EU waste policy and law;
> the root of the problem: the pre-2007 “shifting sand” of UK
interpretation of EU law;
> June 2007: the Court of Appeal “delivers” – but what,
precisely?
> what now are the key elements of EU law and policy on this
matter?
> what does/should the Court of Appeal decision mean in
industrial practice and regulation?
