The Circular Economy Bill, which will be enacted in the coming weeks, will advance a number of priority provisions identified in the 2020 Waste Action Plan for a Circular Economy, including providing for the GDPR-compliant use of a range of technologies, such as CCTV for both waste and litter enforcement purposes. The Bill will facilitate both the use of CCTV and, in more limited situations, the use of other Audio-Visual-Recording technologies, such as body cams and drones, in deterring and prosecuting litter and waste offences.
