490			_aENDS Report _v April 2000, 53(1)
520			_aA prosecution brought by the Environment Agency under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 s33(1) against an animal by-products firm for causing controlled waste to be disposed of without a waste management licence has been dismissed in the Crown Court. The waste was condensate and disposal was by spreading on farmland as a fertiliser. Part of the argument which won the case was that the material was to be reused and did not require any recovery operation before being put to its new use. Such materials are not to be treated as waste.
