The Environmental Protection Act 1990 is an Act of Parliament that implements the European Union Waste Framework Directive in England, Wales and Scotland. It sought to define the structure and authority for waste management and control of emissions into the environment; strengthening controls and enforcement with stricter penalties.

Prior to the implementation of the Act, separate environmental regulations had been in place for air, water and land pollution. Under the 1990 Act, an integrated scheme would aim to achieve the ‘best practicable environmental options’ as well as providing a public right of access to information.

The Act is made up of the following parts:

* Part I: Established the regulations whereby limits on emissions can be set (as of 1996, this has been the responsibility of the Environment Agency and the Scottish Environment Protection Agency).
* Part II: Regulations regarding the controlled disposal of household, industrial and commercial waste on land. This also defines waste management and places a duty on local authorities to collect, treat and dispose of waste.
* Part III: A class of statutory nuisances are defined whereby remedial action can be demanded by local authorities.
* Part IV: Defined criminal offences concerning litter.
* Part V: Made amendments to the Radioactive Substances Act 1960 (repealed by the Radioactive Substances Act 1993).
* Part VI: Defined statutory notification and risk assessment procedures relating to genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
* Part VII: Established new organisations – the Nature Conservancy Council for England, the Nature Conservancy Council for Scotland, and the Countryside Council for Wales.

(An additional section (Part IIA) was inserted by the Environment Act 1995. This deals with contaminated land and defines a scheme of identification and compulsory remedial action.)
