Public Consultation – Draft Regulations on the Waste Management of Furniture, Mattresses and Carpets
We would like to inform you that the Department of Environment is conducting a public consultation on the draft Regulations titled “The Waste (Management of Waste Furniture, Mattresses and Carpets) Regulations.”

The Regulations will require obliged producers to establish collective waste management systems for the waste generated from these products.
