The CIWM Construction, Demolition and Excavation TAG meets on a quarterly basis to discuss the management of waste on construction and demolition sites.
During 2023 one of the main areas of discussion has been around hazardous wood and its compliant and effective management. This has led to a guidance document which has been updated as amendments to regulatory positition statements have evolved. This is available on the guidance document page of the site. This topic has been in discussion with the Wood Recyclers Association.
The Environment Agency presented to the group in relation to waste construction and demolition soil classification. This is an area that will be kept on the agenda by the group. There was also a presentation from CL:AIRE in relation to their work beyond the Definition of Waste Code of Practice (currently being updated) Materials Reuse mechanism.
Another area of work is assessing the availability and robustness of construction, demolition and excavation data. Including recycling and reuse rates.
If you believe you have an interesting update to present or area of work that requires expert knowledge from the TAG group then please contact us.
