How will the new rules affect the environmental impact of biowaste disposal?

The new rules impact waste management by increasing pressure on waste collection services to improve biowaste quality. A 'right of refusal' allows facilities to reject contaminated waste, potentially leading to substantial costs for suppliers who must remove and transport rejected waste elsewhere. This incentivizes better waste separation.
