Permit to carry out operations in the field of waste management
In Ukraine, according to the legislation, all business entities that plan or carry out waste processing are required to obtain a permit to carry out this operation before starting their activities.
This issue is regulated by:
- The Law of Ukraine “On Waste Management”
- Article 43 of the Law of Ukraine “On the Permit System in the Sphere of Economic Activity”
- Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated 19.12.2023 No. 1328 “On the Procedure for Issuing, Refusing to Issuance, and Cancellation of Permits for Waste Processing Operations”
This permit can be obtained by a legal entity or individual entrepreneur who carries out waste processing operations at one or several facilities.
Under what conditions must a business entity obtain a permit for waste management?
According to the Law of Ukraine “On Environmental Impact Assessment”, a business entity can obtain an appropriate permit only after receiving an environmental impact assessment conclusion.
A permit is required if the activities of a business entity result in the generation of waste for which the total waste generation indicator (GWGI) exceeds 1000.
