Birmingham based Premier Waste have signed up to the WRAP voluntary framework to halve the amount of construction, demolition and excavation waste going to landfill by 2012.
The company already diverts 98% of its clients waste from landfill and believes 100% diversion is an achievable and realistic target.
As waste disposal becomes more costly for construction companies, surely those waste contractors showing a more proactive stance on improving recovery rates will benefit most.
The provision of more accurate and meaningful recovery figures can also make an important contribution to the production of more useful Site Waste Management Plans. A Project Client and Principal Contractor can then utilise the outputs of their Site Waste Management Plan more effectively to identify trends and opportunities for improving resource efficiency and realising cost savings on future projects.
