The regulatory environment for Waste Management is crucial for creating an ecosystem where sound practices can be applied. Waste Ventures work to ensure that waste processing and de-centralized systems are premiered and not disadvantaged by legislation and regulations.

Samples of such regulations include:

• Reduction of fertilizer subsidies or provision of an equal subsidy for organic fertilizer and compost
• Requirements that all waste would be environmentally processed
• Removal of capital thresholds designed to exclude small-scale contractors from tendering process
• Requirements on door to door collection
• Banning of waste materials that are not possible to recycle properly
