The EPA 90 imposed a [[Duty of Care]] on waste producers and made further provisions in relation to [[Controlled Waste]] (s75). The waste management licensing regime introduced in the EPA 90 has since been phased out and is now regulated under the [[Environmental Permitting]] regime introduced in the [[Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2010]], as amended.
