Aims

Demonstrate how to forecast and measure waste, with minimum cost and effort, using publicly available tools

Equip you with the knowledge and means to train others in your organisation

Agenda

Why forecast and measure waste? How to forecast and measure waste Supply chain interfaces Learning objectives Overview of waste forecasting Waste planning & data capture Tracking corporate performance

Why measure and forecast waste?

why take action?

Finance Achieve real cost

reductions

Reputation Achieve clear market

recognition

Environment Reduce negative

environmental impact

Policy Contribute to

strategic objectives

Why take action?

Reduce environmental burdens less waste to landfillless site trafficlower carbon footprint

Maintain reputation demonstrate Corporate Responsibility demonstrate efficiency and sustainable procurement

Cut costslower tender prices if requirements are set and waste reduction is planned at an early stage

Landfill tax escalator £8 landfill tax escalator extended to 2014 (active waste) non-active frozen at £2.50/t (2010/11) aggregate levy frozen at £2/t (2010/11) government considering further restrictions on landfilling

biodegradable waste and recyclable materials potential future landfill bans

2013 £72/tonne

2012 £64/tonne

2011 £56/tonne

2010 £48/tonne

2009 £40/tonne

2008 £32/tonne

2007 £24/tonne

SWMP Regulation (England)

Legal requirement on all projects in excess of £300k (increased requirements for those in excess of £500k)

It should include: headline information about the project; the name of an individual responsible for waste; a forecast of the quantity of waste that will be generated; a set of clear actions to reduce waste, and to increase the level

of recycling; the end destination for each waste stream and the recovery

rate that will be achieved.

Skanska Bristol schools PFI

Cost of waste disposal: £42/t well segregated £238/t poorly segregated

Cost of waste: £274k estimated value of

materials wasted at one school

Overview of waste forecasting

Benefits of waste forecasting

Estimating waste streams and allows you to identify:– Opportunities to reduce wastage and save

money– Opportunities to segregate and reduce disposal

costs– Opportunities to increase recovery

Net Waste Tool

Users: Design team – Quantity Surveyor

When: RIBA stage C to E (or equivalent)

Inputs: Basic cost plan data

Cost: A few hours effort, depending on project size

Benefits:

Identify opportunities to reduce cost of wasteIdentify opportunities to increase RC and re-use

Provide waste forecast data for the SWMPUse results to demonstrate CSR

ExampleThe principal contractor used the Net Waste Tool to:• forecast waste arisings• understand the cost of waste• set actions to reduce waste arisings• increase the segregation and recovery of waste

Material selection – Tya, your original title was Recycled content!

Inputs

Project details (e.g. value)

Project quantities (e.g. floor area)

Programme

Choose component specifications (e.g. 100m2 of 12mm plasterboard)

Upload actual waste data post-construction

Input options OR enter quantity from cost plan

Accept the Tool’s quantity estimates (e.g. based on floor

area entered)

The objective is to produce a ‘best fit’ analysis using the data you have available

Outputs

Detailed spreadsheet of data for SWMP

Headline results: - waste arisings - waste to landfill - cost of waste - recycled content - KPIs (improvement)

Graphs showing results as you work through the analysis (baseline, good practice and targeted)

Net Waste Tool – hands on

Quick Quiz

• Does the NW Tool assess recycled content?

• What other outputs does the Tool provide?

• If you don’t have a cost plan, can you still use the Tool?

• What did the Net Waste Tool used to be called?

• Who should use the Tool and when?

Use your own project data or an example project

Work on your own or in pairs

What issues do you face?

SWMP Template - benefits goes beyond compliance, so can be used for projects across

the UK; clear demonstration of compliance with the SWMP

Regulations 2008; Applicable to all sizes of project and all types of

construction; enable users to progress from Standard to Good and Best

Practice and demonstrate this; data only has to be entered once and are then taken

forward automatically to subsequent Steps; and Net Waste Tool waste forecast can be used in the SWMP

Template.

Inputs and outputs

WRAP/Envirowise SWMP Template (v2.0)

Users: Client & Principal Contractor

When: As early in the project as possible

Inputs:Waste forecasts

Actual waste arisingsWaste destinations

Cost: A few hours, depending on project size

Benefits:

Meet the legal requirement (England only)Identify Good & Best Practice opportunities

Assign responsibilities for waste management actions

Identify areas for improvement & lessons learned

SWMP Tracker

Aggregate and analyse data from multiple SWMPs:1. upload SWMPs 2. select which SWMPs to aggregate 3. download an Excel based report 4. Send data directly to the Halving Waste to Landfill

Reporting Portal.

Insert a slide covering the reporting portal – just a link to say where it is. Hopefully most people will attend the later session so no need to cover in any detail.
