A UK first for AI compliance reporting

In Q1 2026, Zoe played a central role in helping Biffa and FCC Environment become the first operators in the UK to submit AI-derived composition data to the Environment Agency as part of their formal compliance reporting – a methodology validated against manual sampling and accepted by the regulator.

Where regulatory expertise meets operational reality

Zoe works directly with facility teams to build the confidence – on both sides – for AI-supported sampling to replace manual processes. Her focus is on the practical: methodology, validation, and making automated reporting work within existing compliance frameworks.

What Zoe writes about

Her content covers MRF compliance in practice – Materials Facility Regulations, Simpler Recycling, the upcoming Deposit Return Scheme, and how facilities can use AI waste analytics to stay ahead of intensifying reporting requirements.
