C&D Resources & Waste • 400 million tonnes of materials used/year • Up to C&D Resources & Waste • 400 million tonnes of materials used/year • Up to 120 million tonnes of CD&E waste – one third of all waste • Estimate around 25 million tonnes of CD&E waste is disposed of in landfill every year in England • Uncertainties around the data • High wastage rates • Rising costs

England Waste Strategy 2007 • Waste as a resource • Waste policy contributes to England Waste Strategy 2007 • Waste as a resource • Waste policy contributes to climate change objectives • Construction and demolition identified as priority sector for action • Focus on 25 million tonnes to landfill • Proposed target of halving CD&E waste to landfill by 2012

Strategy for Sustainable Construction • Joint Government/Industry strategy to promote leadership & behaviour change Strategy for Sustainable Construction • Joint Government/Industry strategy to promote leadership & behaviour change Aims to: • Improve efficient resource use; • Help firms develop sustainable products or ways of working; • Corporate and Social Responsibility.

Sustainable Construction Strategy – Waste • Confirmed target of halving waste to landfill by Sustainable Construction Strategy – Waste • Confirmed target of halving waste to landfill by 2012 compared to 2008. • Cutting 25 million tonnes to nearer 12 million. Need to do some work on baseline data. • 17 millions tonnes of waste to landfill is “soil and stones”. • Subgroup of strategic forum focusing on C&D waste

Sustainable Construction Strategy – Actions Sustainable Construction Strategy – Actions

Waste as a Resource • Resource availability a growing global issue • Need to Waste as a Resource • Resource availability a growing global issue • Need to identify barriers to markets for recovered raw materials from the waste chain • The Environment Agency working closely with WRAP on the Quality Protocols • Pathway to Zero Waste in the South East

Ending waste to landfill? • Longer term ambition to end disposal of CD&E waste Ending waste to landfill? • Longer term ambition to end disposal of CD&E waste in landfill as far as practicable; • But proposed target of “zero CD&E waste” to landfill by 2020 was rejected; • Landfill remains the most suitable solution for some (hazardous) waste streams; • Recycling & recovery capacity will be crucial • Best practice at >90% landfill avoidance

Revised Waste Framework Directive: C&D waste target • “by 2020, the preparing for re-use, Revised Waste Framework Directive: C&D waste target • “by 2020, the preparing for re-use, recycling and other material recovery, including backfilling operations using waste to substitute other materials, of non-hazardous construction and demolition waste excluding naturally occurring material defined in category 17 05 04 in the list of waste shall be increased to a minimum of 70% by weight. ”

Waste Framework Directive • Will this be a driver for greater ambition on CD&E Waste Framework Directive • Will this be a driver for greater ambition on CD&E waste in the UK? Possibly not. • Commission yet to set precise rules for measurement of target. • Possible Commission study into C&D waste. • Commission can by 2014 propose additional targets for specific waste-streams if overall target unlikely to be met

Economic instruments and regulation • Various fiscal and regulatory measures are already driving up Economic instruments and regulation • Various fiscal and regulatory measures are already driving up resource efficiency - Landfill Tax - Aggregates Levy - Site Waste Management Plans - Code for Sustainable Homes - BREEAM

Site Waste Management Plans • SWMPs have raised the issue of resource use and Site Waste Management Plans • SWMPs have raised the issue of resource use and waste up the agenda; • Lots of information for business, less so for local authorities; • Oversight and enforcement important • Full review of the legislation in 2011/12 • Somre requirements through planning • SMARTWaste Plan is a free tool to assist

Halving Waste to Landfill Commitment • WRAP’s voluntary agreement provides a clear process to Halving Waste to Landfill Commitment • WRAP’s voluntary agreement provides a clear process to deliver the 1/2 W 2 L target. • They will be working across the sector to support implementation over the next three years • A growing number of construction clients and practitioners are making the commitment and setting targets with their supply chains

Range of voluntary action underway • Additional action under umbrella of Sustainable Construction Strategy Range of voluntary action underway • Additional action under umbrella of Sustainable Construction Strategy • For example, 20% reduction in construction packaging waste (Construction Products Association) • Extension of Plasterboard Voluntary Agreement • Resource plans for joinery and flooring sectors • Defra product roadmaps for plasterboard and windows • Creation of a new Construction Waste Group under Strategic Forum is helping to co-ordinate action
