It is little over a month until the BMRA Conference 2026 will take place on Thursday 10 September at the British Motor Museum, Gaydon, Warwickshire.
Speakers already confirmed:
- The Environment Agency's Deputy Director, Waste and Resources Regulation, Chris Deed, will make the keynote address at the upcoming BMRA Conference 2026. Mr Deed, who met with BMRA on a recent site visit, will discuss how the industry and the EA can work together to enable a more proportionate, risk-based regulatory framework.
- Jake Kingsley, Operational Readiness Lead at Defra will discuss Digital Waste Tracking (DWT). His presentation will cover the role of DWT in reducing crime and driving efficiency and sustainability, the benefits to the metals recycling sector, the importance of implementation, and how metal recyclers can access the system.
- Robin Edwards of Onis Consulting and the project lead for the National Infrastructure Crime Reduction Partnership (NICRP) will discuss where the review of the SMDA is, enforcements of the Act and training for police officers, local authorities and yards.
- Environment Agency colleagues Paul Fernee, Team Leader (Hazardous Waste Transfer & Treatment and Metal Recycling) and Andy Bee (Metals Recycling sector lead), will join the BMRA Conference to discuss the drivers for regulatory change in the metals recycling industry. This session is expected to include key updates and discussion on the repeal of the T9 exemption and a wider review of metals recycling permitting (including dust and water abatement), and the new carriers and brokers regime.
