NAWDO press statement – UK ETS consultation response
Wednesday 23rd July 2025
[Start]
The National Association of Waste Disposal Officers (NAWDO) welcomes the publication of the interim response covering the initial MRV period for the inclusion of energy from waste emissions in the UK Emissions Trading Scheme. NAWDO supports a mandatory approach to this period to ensure a consistent and unified set of data prior to full scheme implementation but notes the ETS Authority's desire to allow for multiple MRV approaches to be tested.
NAWDO acknowledges the ETS Authority's desire to ensure that ETS costs do not adversely affect local government. We await the full response in due course which we hope will also address carbon pricing volatility, in addition to an increased understanding of policy interactions across the waste sector combined with their role in reducing the fossil carbon content of waste presented for disposal through local authority waste management systems.
