Waste Recovery & Reuse
The recovery and reuse of waste materials not only reduces the cost associated with development and business operations but also helps eliminate, reduce or mitigate adverse impacts and realise potential positive contributions a project can have.
If waste is produced onsite, it is important to ensure that the recovery, reuse or disposal is either permitted or exempt or if there are any other applicable legal obligations. Geohyden’s specialist consultants have the practical knowledge and technical know-how to advise on the legal obligations, identify appropriate strategies for waste recovery, design implementation plans, manage implementation reducing operational burdens that may hinder key operational activities and verify appropriate reuse.
We are one of only a small number of consultancies that can offer CL:AIRE accredited (Contaminated Land: Applications in Real Environments) qualified persons and as such are similarly proficient in the EU’s WRAP Quality Protocol (Waste & Resources Action Programme). We are therefore able to offer the very latest and highest standard of advice for waste recovery and reuse.
Our service typically employs the following procedure:
- A consultative and thorough waste audit of all project processes
- Production of a waste management plan with option appraisal
- Development of implementation plans and method statements of production
- Identification of permitting and license requirements providing the necessary competent personnel to gain permits/licenses
- Identification of appropriate hauliers and waste treatment facilities
- Logistical Management
- Monitoring of waste streams throughout the project lifecycle
- Production of a verification report outlining the final outcome of waste recovery and reuse
Our comprehensive approach to waste material recovery and reuse has helped our clients to:
- Minimise waste generation and the need to recycle
- Identify retrievable materials and feed them back into processes to reduce resource consumption
- Ensure that all waste types are processed and stored in accordance with relevant legal obligations
