CIOB and WRAP launch online guidance on Site Waste Management Plans

摘要

The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB), in partnership with WRAP (Waste & Resources Action Programme), has launched an online broadcast to give guidance on implementing Site Waste Management Plans (SWMP); a mandatory requirement in England from April 6th. According to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) the construction industry generates over 100 million tonnes of waste each year of which approximately 20 million tonnes ends up in landfill. SWMP's provide the framework for construction companies to identify waste minimisation, and management opportunities and to meet the Government's targets for halving construction waste to landfill by 2012.
