INTEGRATED WASTE MANAGEMENT (IWM)
• Requires the waste producer to assess the potential forwaste and put in place processes and procedures toeliminate and control the waste.
• Requires the organization to establish targets and put allefforts in place to achieve these targets.
• Includes the 5 R principles: Rethink, Repair, Reduce,Reuse, Recycle.

PLANNING STAGES
• The following elements are considered, during the planningphase of establishing an Integrated Waste Management system:
– Consider types of waste that will be produced at the site and office;
– Estimate the volume of each type of waste;
– Research waste providers / facilities capable of handling thesetypes of waste;
– Provide collection / sorting units capable of accommodating theestimated waste volumes;
– Ensure Employees are properly trained in order to separate thewaste and achieve organizational targets;
– Plan for suitable collection and disposal of the collected waste;
– Produce reporting forms and procedures.

• Separate Hazardous and Non-Hazardous Waste.
• Separate all non-hazardous waste by type.
• Never mix any reusable / recyclable waste with food waste.
• Any material containing trace of food waste is non-recyclable.For example, a juice plastic bottle with juice still inside. Traces offood and drink have to be rinsed off.
• Components of one product might need further separation (e.g.water bottle).
• Do not know how to segregate? Simply Ask !

• Mixing waste for disposal makes it almost impossible to meet theorganization’s waste management targets.
• The temporary mixing of waste on sites should be avoided as itbecomes difficult to separate at a later date.

• Waste receptacles are to be provided within the project siteand offices for collection by waste type.
• Waste storage areas must be of a suitable size to contain allthe produced waste quantities.
• Cardboard boxes are made flat and collected in the storeroom.
• Each employee can keep a reuse box for paper at their desks.
• Employees should be required to utilize waste bins and keepthem in good condition.
• Never mix waste.
• Do not leave waste in corridors to block movement.

• Compatibility assessments shall be done to determine reactionsbetween waste types and segregation requirements;
• Hazardous waste shall be stored in impermeable units / skipswith cover and proper labelling.
• Best practice is placing the skip on an impermeable surfacesuch as concrete hard standing.

• It requires commitment from each individual to rethinktheir behaviors and actions.
• If you care about giving your children a future at thesame standard you live in now, think about the naturalresources you are leaving them today.
• Think about eliminating the need to produce waste:
– For example get your food in a reusable container;
– Or donate unneeded items rather than disposing them,surely someone needs them somewhere!
• Think about waste with lower environmental impacts.
– For example paper cups rather than polystyrene cups.
RETHINK

• 80% of Electronic devices are functional on disposal,however, we are just too lazy too fix them.
• Electronic waste are the most polluting domestic waste.
(Chemicals soil ground water sea animals
humans)
• Repairing electronics means less pollution going to theenvironment from discarded items.
• If repair is not possible, donate Electronic devices at e-waste locations.
• Same principle can be applied to a wide variety of itemssuch as tyres, wood planks (de-nailing for reuse), officefurniture, vehicle batteries.
REPAIR

• If waste is inevitable, try to reduce the amount you produce:
– Buy reusable containers rather than disposable ones;
– Reduce the amount of food waste;
– Try buying items with no packaging;
– Reduce non-recyclable waste like polystyrene and glass;
– Reduce printing and use of ink;
– Bulk materials vs. smaller containers;
– Paper clips vs. staples;
– Coffee tumblers.

• Site teams shall reduce the waste produced through theiractivities:
– Reduce the amount of concrete backup to reduce the amountof wash out;
– Reduce the amount of steel reinforcement cutting onsite byordering correct dimensions from supplier, where applicable;
– Request manufacturers to reduce the packaging of non-fragile materials;
– Reduce non recyclable waste like polystyrene and glass;
– Separate recyclables and non recyclables to reduce risk ofnon-recyclable waste.

• Store reusable materials separately and label them asreusable.
• Some examples of reuse in the office:
– Get your lunch in reusable containers;
– Collect single sided print outs for reuse as drafts andnotes;
– Reuse empty containers;
– Reuse cardboard boxes for storage;
– Reuse plastic binding spirals for new documents.

• Store reusable materials separately and label them asreusable.
• Some examples of reuse onsite:
– Wooden pallets for material storage and transport;
– Backup concrete to extend hard standing around site offices;
– Polythene and hessian cloth for concrete curing;
– Cardboard boxes for storage;
– Cut reinforcement for use with barricades and site marking.

• Recycling means processing what is usually consideredwaste to become a new material.
• Recycling reduces:
– Pollution from extraction and manufacture of raw materials;
– Amount of waste going to landfill;
– Marine and environmental pollution.
• Recycling requires proper separation of waste according totype.
• Materials separated at source are then transferred to alicensed / authorized recycling facility.
• Consider take back recycling.

• The largest amount of waste produced at the office is paperwaste.
• Paper is produced from trees.
• Trees suck carbon dioxide from the air.
• Less trees = more CO2 = more climate change.
• Recycling one ton of newspaper saves about 1 ton of wood.
• Recycling 1 ton of printing or copier paper saves 2 tons ofwood.
• EPA claims 40% reduction in energy when paper isrecycled versus paper made with unrecycled pulp.

• Recycling Requirements:
– Remove staples, clips, binding and plastic from the papersbefore dropping them in the recycling bin;
– Do not recycle paper mixed with food waste;
– Do not mix cardboard with paper;
– Envelopes with plastic in them are not recyclable, unlessplastic is removed;
– With our current recycler, post-it notes can be recycled;
