MEASURING WASTE
01. 02. 05. 04. 07. Define Project Scope Determine the geographical scope of your waste measurement, including specific project locations. Specify the depth of your waste assessment, considering which phases of the project will be included (construction, operation, maintenance, etc). Waste Tracking System Implement a waste tracking system to document waste generation and disposal. Utilise waste management software or manual tracking methods, as needed. Set Waste Reduction Goals Establish specific waste reduction goals for your project, such as achieving a certain percentage of waste diversion from landfills. Share these goals with contractors and project stakeholders to ensure alignment. recycling facilities or waste management companies to facilitate recycling. Identify potential sources of waste associated with your infrastructure project. Categorise waste sources into construction waste, packaging materials, operational waste, and any other relevant categories. Encourage on-site sorting of recyclable materials by providing clearly labelled recycling bins. Establish partnerships with local Identify Emission Sources On-Site Sorting and Recycling
06. 03. Collect Data Collaborate with project stakeholders, including contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers, to gather data on waste generation and disposal. Maintain records of the types and quantities of materials used and discarded during each project phase. Waste Audits Conduct periodic waste audits to assess the composition of your waste stream and identify opportunities for diversion and reduction. Analyse audit results to refine waste management strategies.
01. 02. 05. 04. 06. Use Audit Data to Paint a Picture of Your Environmental Impact Waste Reduction at Source Material Selection: Choose construction materials with minimal packaging, opting for bulk purchases when possible. Prefabrication: Use prefabricated components to reduce construction waste generated on-site. Recycling and Composting Programs Implement recycling and composting programs to divert materials away from landfills. Ensure that recycling and compost bins are readily accessible on-site for both participants and visitors. Public Awareness and Education Engage with the community and educate them about the importance of waste reduction and recycling practices at the sports facility. Use signage and interactive displays to guide visitors on proper waste disposal and recycling.
03. Waste Sorting: Implement on-site waste sorting and recycling stations to ensure that materials are properly separated. Lean Construction: Adopt lean construction principles to optimise material use and minimise waste during construction. Continuous Improvement Foster a culture of continuous improvement in waste management practices for future projects. Encourage feedback from stakeholders and community members to identify further opportunities for reducing waste and enhancing recycling. Construction Site Practices
