Digital Waste Tracking: business regulatory impact assessment

15. Digital Impact Test

184. This policy intends to mandate the use of a digital service to track waste movements. We recognise that some individuals, either working within businesses or as sole traders may be digitally excluded, for example, due to religious beliefs or lack of digital connectivity.

185. Digitally excluded persons will be exempted from the use of the Digital Waste Tracking System. They will instead be required to create written records and submit information to SEPA on quarterly basis. Data will be able to be submitted via a non-digital route for any digitally excluded persons. We would expect the proportion of individuals who are digitally excluded and who would need to interact with this system to be very low.
