How to Automate Your MF Regulations Reporting — Lessons from pioneers at FCC Environment and Greyparrot

A practical webinar on automating EA compliance reporting through AI waste analytics and future-proofing your materials facility against a changing regulatory landscape

Tuesday 14th July | 2pm GMT | Online

Webinar Running a Profitable MRF in 2026

Learn how FCC automated critical compliance reporting processes – and future-proofed against a changing regulatory landscape:

Manual sampling has hit its ceiling, and the rules are only getting tougher. The EA’s 2024 MF Regulations raised the bar on waste composition reporting, Simpler Recycling is changing what lands on the MRF floor, and the 2027 Deposit Return Scheme will pull high-value PET and cans out of kerbside streams. Every shift has direct operational and revenue implications.

In this webinar, FCC Environment and Greyparrot share how they made the leap to automated compliance reporting. FCC Environment were among the first UK operators to submit Greyparrot’s AI-derived waste composition data directly to the Environment Agency, a landmark moment for the sector. We will also look beyond reporting at how continuous AI monitoring helps facilities adapt to new materials, shifting volumes and changing target objects, so you can future-proof your operation against whatever the regulatory landscape brings next.

What you’ll learn:

  • Why manual sampling can no longer keep pace with the EA’s requirements
  • How AI waste analytics captures continuous, representative composition data across entire operational periods
  • How to implement, calibrate and validate an automated reporting system, with lessons from FCC Environment
  • How to use Greyparrot data for your compliance reporting
  • How to future-proof your facility against a changing regulatory landscape

Hannah Balacky - Implementation Lead at Greyparrot

In her role, Hannah ensures every new customer is set up for success. She works closely with facilities to implement Greyparrot's technology and support them in getting up and running with their data by reviewing and assessing data quality, identifying trends, and helping drive actionable insights. Drawing on her background in statistics and regulatory sampling, she created the tests to validate Greyparrot's AI waste analytics for compliance reporting, authored the first EA sampling methodology insert, and led the validation trials at Biffa and FCC.

Hannah previously worked at Suez as a Sampling Team Leader, where she managed compliance data and developed a deep understanding of regulatory sampling, organising sampling operations, leading a team to deliver accurate and representative data, and producing analysis reports for both the plant and the local environmental governing body. Earlier, she supported a Circpack·Suez project focused on digitising waste data to advance the circular economy. She holds a distinction in Environmental Science (MSc) from the University of Aberdeen, and a degree in Mathematics and Music from the University of Leeds.
