The costs to business were raised. That obviously depends on a business’s size and activity, the current information and what method it is using. Operators that do not already use software to record their waste information might choose to purchase software if they need to comply with the new requirements, so there is a cost to that. For all operators, there will be costs relating to familiarisation with the new requirements, any training that needs to take place, and potential changes to business processes, for example. They are the kinds of costs that we think will come in, but, clearly, once they have happened, the business will be set up ready for the new requirements.
