Liquipak Ltd (Huddersfield) was fined £2,666.67 (total £8,973.67) after an accidental bleach discharge in September 2021 killed over 800 fish and aquatic invertebrates in the River Colne. A collapsed wooden pallet caused sodium hypochlorite to enter a surface drain. The company has since improved handling and drainage procedures.
