Digital Waste Tracking - Legal Implications, Compliance Risks & Practical Solutions

Introduction

Digital waste tracking is transforming how environmental compliance is evidenced and enforced, reshaping the boundaries of the long-standing waste duty of care.

This webinar begins with a focused refresher on the statutory duty of care, before examining the policy and regulatory drivers behind the shift to digital systems. It then unpacks the emerging legal framework, highlighting its key features and what they mean in practice for environmental lawyers, professional advisers, and their clients.

With regulators increasingly treating digital records as primary evidence, data integrity and accuracy are becoming central legal risks. The webinar will explore how this shift affects compliance strategies and how contracts, governance frameworks and internal systems will need to evolve to manage liability and evidential exposure under the new regime.
