More New ‘GPPs’ - Guidance for Pollution Prevention Published

A review plan for the PPGs is currently underway. The review will result in a replacement guidance series, Guidance for Pollution Prevention (GPPs). 

It is aimed that the new series will provide environmental good practice guidance for the whole UK, and environmental regulatory guidance directly to Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. For businesses in England, regulatory guidance is available from GOV.UK instead.
