Environmental Licence

Environmental Licence for operating a waste recycling facility. Such licences and environmental permits are issued by the Environment Agency.

We have worked with businesses large and small. Many have never been in the waste recycling sector before. Paul Downing & Associates can provide all of the information needed for you to start in business.

The area of waste recycling is tightly regulated in the UK. There is a lot of confusing guidance and advice. We have helped many businesses decide therefore whether it is worth opening a waste recycling business.

Paul Downing & Associates can guide you through the process of waste planning and permitting. We can help you see the project right through until you are ready to operate.

Once you have the correct environmental licence and permit. That is unfortunately not the end of the process. There is ongoing regulation and audit by the Environment Agency. We can also help you therefore through this early stage of business start up.

We are a small practical consultancy. Everything that we do is bespoke and tailored to your needs. Every application is different and will depend on your site location and what you plan to recycle. The risk assessments and surveys required for each project are never the same.
