EnviroMac Newsletter: ISSUE 57 / DECEMBER 2017

Dear clients and subscribers 

Our environmental and mining team wishes you all a prosperous and productive 2018.
 
In our first newsflash for the year sent out earlier this week, you will find a request for comments by the Minister of Environmental Affairs, on the draft regulations on exclusion of certain waste applications from the definitions of waste, which you are encouraged to do. Otherwise, there is a momentary reprieve without much movement during December on the legislative front. If you have missed any of our newsflashes or monthly newsletters, backdated copies are available in our online archive here.
 
Although many of our clients experienced a profitable 2017, we hope that 2018 will usher in further improved market sentiments across the board and prosperity to you all. 

Kind regards
Kenneth Cameron
