Milestone 4 of 7 Start a food business in Wales

Step 4: Meet food waste requirements

Wales has stricter food waste rules than England. Businesses in Wales producing 5kg or more of food waste per week must separate it for collection — a threshold most food businesses will exceed — and separately collected food waste must not be sent to landfill or incineration. You need to arrange separate food waste collection with a licensed waste carrier and keep transfer notes as evidence of compliance.
