Government guidance is being consolidated so that you can find the information you need more easily.
Our environmental topics have already moved
NetRegs environmental topic guidance has already moved to the Environment and Efficiency section of the business websites:
Business Link (England): Environment and efficiency
NIBusinessInfo (Northern Ireland): Environment and efficiency
Business Gateway (Scotland): Environment and efficiency
Business.Wales.gov.uk (Wales): Environment and efficiency
The guidance is structured slightly differently from what you’re used to on NetRegs, but covers the same key topic areas.
Our other guidance is also moving
Business type guidance
Our guidance for chemical manufacturers, pulp, paper and cardboard manufacturers and metal production and processing businesses has already moved to Business Link, NI Business Info, Business Gateway and Business.Wales.gov.uk.
Guidance for Wales that moves on to Business.Wales.gov.uk will be provided in both English and Welsh.
Guidance for the remaining business types will be moved to other locations over the next few months. We will keep you updated through our email updates as this work progresses.
Waste Directory
The Waste Directory is now hosted on the Environment Agency website.
Legislation lists
The legislation lists will be moved to suitable locations, and we will let you know when this happens.
Up-to-date guidance for businesses
The Environment Agency, the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) and the Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA) will still be responsible for updating our environmental guidance. This means we will ensure that all guidance is accurate and kept up to date.
