Waste measurement & improving performance trainer organisation location date

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 landfill  less site traffic  lower carbon footprint Maintain reputation  demonstrate Corporate Responsibility  demonstrate efficiency and sustainable procurement Cut costs  lower 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 “Reducing waste became part of the way we did construction”

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 waste Identify opportunities to increase RC and re-use Provide waste forecast data for the SWMP Use results to demonstrate CSR

Example The 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

Waste planning & data capture

Waste planning – what, when and who? Pre-construction Outline design Detailed design Construction Post-construction Tendering & appointment Capture waste prevention actions Forecast waste and record actions Monitor performance and record actual wastage Performance review and benchmarking Client Contractor Design team or contractor QS Architect Contractor and client SWMP Template

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 arisings Waste 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

Tracking corporate performance

Supply chain interfaces Pre-construction Outline design Detailed design Construction Post-construction Tendering & appointment Prevent waste Forecast waste Reduce waste Increase RC Waste reduction Waste recovery Measure performance Review performance Benchmarking Model wording Net Waste Tool Designing out waste tools/guidance SWMP Tracker Reporting Portal SWMP Template

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.

SWMP Tracker demonstration

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.
