Waste transfers

Transfers of waste are the movement of waste to sites such as a secure landfill, tailings dam or trade waste sewer. These are currently excluded from the NPI. To fully understand the waste generated by a particular site, and therefore encourage ways of reducing waste at the source, transfers of substances must be considered alongside their emissions.

A variation to the NPI NEPM, which covers the inclusion of waste transfers, is being prepared. For more information, access the NPI website.
