Zero Avoidable Waste Strategy

This contractor has put together a zero avoidable waste strategy with several actions already being put in place on the site.

These actions include

A ‘Waste segregation zone’ which includes area of cut-offs free for labour on site to take home with them.
Multilingual signage around the site on all signage and labels to bins in Romanian, Lithuanian, Polish, Albanian and Bulgarian in addition to English.
The use of Hard hat and pallet recycling firms and posters around the site advertising these.
A monthly skip/bin review which names items found such as plasterboard offcuts, what % of the bin they have taken up, cost of the item, what happens to the item and could it be used elsewhere rather then being skipped.
Developed a waste training spreadsheet – They have found through reviewing the site skips and bins that plasterboard and bricks seem to be the biggest cause of waste.
A waste audit has been created as an optional tool to support sites/projects in identifying opportunities for waste & resource reduction and improvements.
Beginning the documentation review of the waste transfer notes.
