Waste Management Plan for England 2013
•The Waste Management Plan for England is a high level
document which is non – site specific.
•It provides an analysis of the current waste management
situation in England, and evaluates how it will support
implementation of the objectives and provisions of the
revised WFD.
•The Plan does not introduce new waste management
measures
edoc
What
•Will offer an alternative to paper-based system of WTN’s
•Modernising waste data collection in the UK
•Enhance ability to extract good quality data
Why
•Storage & accurate data monitoring
Who
•Any UK business involved in waste management
When
•Due to be rolled out from January 2014
SWMPs in England
•The original red tape challenge concluded that SWMP
Regulations should be scrapped
•The date set for this is October 2013 (shown in a report
from September 2012)
•There was then a consultation to understand what the
impacts will be if/when the regulations are removed
So...
SWMP in Wales
Draft regulations indicate that:
•No financial limit for requiring SWMP
•Must be sent to relevant enforcement authority
•Fees paid – value not yet determined
•Councils MUST enforce the regulations
Subject to outcomes of consultation, SWMP regulations will
be laid in 2014 and come into force in 2015
SWMPs in Scotland & Northern Ireland
•The Scottish Government have committed to a zero waste
to landfill target by 2020
•The Department of the Environment Northern Ireland
(DOENI) consulted on SWMP proposals in 2011
•Still no legal requirement to produce a SWMP
•SWMP a useful management tool to cut
costs, reduce fly-tipping and demonstrate
your duty of care for waste
Halving Waste To Landfill
•Commitment launched in 2008 and completed at the end of
2012
•Over 800 companies made the commitment to reduce
waste
•Construction and demolition waste was reduced
•Excavation waste has seen a sharp increase
Bad Practise
•Not recording Designing out Waste actions
•Providing data in the wrong format – m or m2 of material
•Using the wrong LOW/EWC codes
•Not providing full details of waste carriers or waste
management facilities

Designing Out Waste
• Focus on the first stage that waste can be reduced
• Responsibility to reduce waste ultimately lies with the client to set
targets and push the design team
• Considering waste at design stage saves money at least twice over
Design Principles
1. Design for Reuse & Recovery
2. Design for Off-Site Construction
3. Design for Materials Optimisation
4. Design for Waste Efficient Procurement
5. Design for Deconstruction & Flexibility
Good Practise
Orient Way - Reuse & Recovery
• £15 million rail sidings project in East London
• Layout design enabled a high rate of re-use
o 1,000 tonnes of crushed concrete was reused on site
o 20,000 tonnes of ballast reused
o 3,250 yards of track was reused
• Award from CEEQUAL for overall recycling rate of 99%
Good Practise
Bond Street Monitoring - Waste Efficient Procurement
• Installation of equipment in and around the station to
monitor any ground movement caused by new work at the
station
• Company providing equipment remove long haul
packaging and reuse at their depot
• Packaging taken to site is returned to depot for reuse
Summary
•Waste Management Plan for England 2013 - does not introduce
new waste management measures " lacking ambition“
•edoc – to be used by any UK business involved in waste
management from January 2014 to replace paper based WTN’s
•Status of devolved government SWMP’s – England: requirement
to be removed; Wales requirement to be put in place; Scotland
and Northern Ireland still no requirement
•Bad practise
•Good practise
