Construction waste laws for 2008

SWMP is expected to become law in April 2008.

What is SWMP?

A SWMP provides a structure for waste delivery and disposal at all stages during a construction project. It will identify
∙ Who is responsible for resource management.
∙ What type of waste will be generated.
∙ How the waste will be managed.
∙ Which contractors will be used to ensure the waste is correctly recycled or disposed of.
∙ How the quantity of waste generated from the project will be measured.

Who will be affected by SWMP?

∙ Anyone planning a construction project costing more than Ł250,000 in England
∙ Suppliers to the construction industry.

Why do I need SWMP?

∙ It will protect the environment- by reducing the amount going to landfill.
∙ It will save you money- by reducing waste

How a SWMP can benefit you:

∙ Helps your business avoid prosecution.
∙ Shows how waste is managed and could help cut costs.
∙ Helps by giving you valuable information for the future.
