Most UK legislation impacting on waste management is now implemented as a result of European Directives. The European Union's waste legislation comprises three main elements:

horizontal legislation, establishing the overall framework for the management of wastes, including definitions and principles
legislation on treatment operations, such as landfill or incineration, which may set technical standards for the operation of waste facilities
legislation on specific waste streams, such as waste oil or batteries, which may include for example measures to increase recycling or to reduce hazardousness
