WEBINAR | New waste regs impacting virtually all lighting companies
This webinar will include vital updates on three new waste regulations coming into force in 2025:
• The “Simpler Recycling” regulations require virtually all businesses to separate their waste into four containers. We explain the changes.
• The waste packaging Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) regulations are now impacting many businesses. What are the implications for the many lighting companies that use smaller quantities of packaging?
• The government has announced that the WEEE regulations will be expanded to include online marketplaces. How might that impact lighting companies?
The panel of experts include
- Aaron Moon, Senior Policy Advisor, Simpler Recycling at Defra
- John Redmayne, Managing Director of the waste packaging scheme ERP
- Nigel Harvey, Recolight CEO
Chaired by Ray Molony
Presentations are followed by a panel discussion and Q & A session, in which we invite questions from you. You can submit a question in advance on the registrations form.

Slides will be shared with all who register, and a recording posted
