The surge of Waste Management Plans

Waste management plans are fast becoming a staple for construction companies nationwide. As discussions surrounding global warming and safeguarding the environment intensify – construction companies have begun to take notice and take action.

What exactly is a Waste Management Plan?

A waste management plan for site is essentially a plan which aims to reduce the amount of waste produced on site through establishing a quantity of building materials and any resulting waste may need to be managed on site. The waste management plan is key to achieving sustainable waste management on a construction site – whereby a company will begin by estimating the amount of different types of waste that will be produced on site.

The Benefit’s to these companies?

Construction waste by its nature will increase the burden on landfills, if waste is mismanaged it may lead to pollution issues including but not limited to soil and or water pollution.  Having a clearly identified waste management plan for site may lead to benefits such as :

• Increasing site efficiency – employees are aware of the process and so there is no confusion or questions when it comes to waste disposal
• Improves Resources Management – A clear plan will allow a site to forecast what products or resources may be needed on site in advance
• Company Image – Adhering to a waste management plan may also position companies as environmentally conscious thus improving their brand image and perception among the public

 Bin-Dok and Waste Segregation

We supply several Irish contractors and sub-contractors with skips for their site’s and our range of products includes.

• Teleporter Skips
• Forklift Tipping Skips
• Crane Rubble Skips
• Steel Mortar Tubs
• Block Grabs

 

When dealing with companies we often recommend a waste segregation for site- this comes in the form of color coding the skips purchased for site. Our range of products comes in standard blue, however we do offer a selection of colors at no additional costs to allow for efficient waste segregation on site.

A lot of companies will look for their brand colors on these products however, in recent months we have noticed there has been an increase in companies looking for each skip delivered to site to be a different color and to be labelled with a specific material that is solely destined for that skip. These companies clearly have waste management plans and have made a conscious decision to plan out the waste management for their site in the effort to reduce the burden on landfills and more importantly the environment going forward.
