The Waste Action Plan for a Circular Economy (WAPCE) sets out a commitment to analyse the impact of the landfill levy exemption for bio-waste and whether it should be removed. A working group is currently examining this commitment and a full review of all landfill levy exemptions, including stabilised waste fines, is currently under way.

It is anticipated the group will report on their findings later in 2023.
