[QUOTE="Goweresque, post: 8689564, member: 818"] No, straw is considered a by-product, which means it isn't a waste at all, and hence we can dispose of it to whoever we like without any waste management implications. [HEADING=2][I]The by-product test[/I][/HEADING] [I]A production process with the primary aim of producing intended new products from non-waste materials may also produce unavoidable residues. These residues will have by-product (non-waste) status if they meet all 4 conditions (a) to (d) under [URL='https://www.legislation.gov.uk/eudr/2008/98/article/5']WFD article 5 (1)[/URL]. [/I] [HEADING=3][I]Condition (a) – further use of the substance or object is certain[/I][/HEADING] [HEADING=3][I]Condition (b) – the substance or object can be used directly without any further processing other than normal industrial practice[/I][/HEADING] [HEADING=3][I]Condition (c) – the substance or object is produced as an integral part of the production process[/I][/HEADING] [HEADING=3][I]Condition (d) – further use is lawful, that is the substance or object fulfils all relevant product, environmental and health protection requirements for the specific use and will not lead to overall adverse environmental or human health impacts[/I][/HEADING] Straw meets all those criteria - there is an established market for it, it requires no more processing beyond baling, it is produced as an intrinsic part of cereal production and there are no environmental or health impacts from its use.
