SWMPs
| In April 2008 SWMPs will be a legal requirement. Some local authorities and Eco Home standards already require SWMPs - they need to be in place now. A Site Waste Management Plan (SWMP) is simply a plan that details the amounts and types of wastes that will be produced on site and how they will be reused, recycled or disposed of. SWMPs provide a good opportunity to streamline site activities and realise a number of business benefits including: |
|
- cost savings and income realisation through reduced requirements for materials, storage & handling and better management for recovery or disposal
- demonstration of good environmental performance, supporting the requirements of environmental management systems
- risk management - ensuring compliance with regulation and contractual requirements of public and private sector clients
- improved company performance allowing differentiation from competitors
