Quality Protocol

End of waste criteria for the production and use of biomethane from landfill gas and anaerobic digestion (AD) biogases

What is a Quality Protocol? A Quality Protocol sets out end of waste criteria for the production and use of a product from a specific waste type. Compliance with these criteria is sufficient to demonstrate that the fully recovered product may be used without undermining the effectiveness of the WFD and without the need for waste management controls. In addition, a Quality Protocol indicates how compliance may be demonstrated. A Quality Protocol further aims to provide increased market confidence in the quality of products made from waste and so encourage greater recovery and recycling.
