A new construction waste recycling framework could provide construction companies with clear information on processing and recovery routes for their wastes.
The aim would be to help the industry realise significant cost savings on waste disposal and identify new waste management contractors to help them meet their waste reduction and recovery targets.
The consultation process with the construction and waste management sectors will look at the form of such a framework and how it might work. If implemented this could make a key contribution to the more effective implementation of Site Waste Management Plans; A key requirement of a correctly implemented Site Waste Management Plan is to maximise reuse, recycling and recovery of wastes and to encourage minimisation of construction waste in the first instance.
