  1. Introduction to SMARTWaste Plan – benefits for Strategic Waste Planning Katherine Adams Centre for Resource Efficiency

  2. Overview • Why measure? • History of SMARTWaste • An introduction to SMARTWaste Plan • Some data • Benefits of SMARTWaste Plan • A demonstration • The future

  3. BRE We are: “A world leading centre of expertise for construction and fire, providing research, consultancy and information services to customers worldwide.” • Owned by a charity, BRE Trust • Offices in UK: Garston (Watford), Scotland, Highlands, Wales and Ireland

  4. Resource Efficiency Team at BRE • One-stop-shop of integrated solutions for the whole supply chain on all aspects of material waste including: • Waste auditing • Waste minimisation • Waste management in the construction, demolition, refurbishment, manufacturing and related industries • Pre-demolition and pre-refurbishment audits • Training • Development of various software tools

  5. “ In order to manage something you must first be able to measure it ” Benchmarking

  6. Why measure? • Understand = set baseline & appropriate targets • Measure progress • Provide focus and priority actions • Continually improve • Report back

  7. What can we measure?

  8. Last millennium • BRE Environmental Building 1996 – 1997 • Demolition waste recycling 96% • Use of reclaimed and recycled materials • Waste reduction – not possible • First detailed waste audit: Willmott Dixon – Pegasus Court, 1997-1998 • Over 5000 data entries • Time consuming/ difficult to update site • Software developed

  9. 2000 onwards • Bovis Lend Lease – Chiswick Park and x25 1-week Packaging waste audits with SMARTAudit, 2001-2003 • English Partnerships – 3 year SMARTAudit of the Greenwich Millennium Project, 2000-2003 – see project guides • Taylor Woodrow Construction – adopted SMARTStart on all new projects from April 2002 • Pre-demolition audits 2002 • BREMAP launched 2002 – waste minimisation award 2003 (links to Materials Information exchange)

  10. 2000 onwards even more… • SMARTStart+ 2003 • Waste contractors sign up – ICWM 2004 • BREEAM tool 2005 onwards • National Benchmarking 2006 onwards • CoRE 2006 onwards – 300 free licences • South East • East • London • SmartLIFE / EP Design for Manufacture - 2006 • SMARTWaste for Olympics - 2007

  11. SMARTWaste Plan • www.smartwaste.co.uk • Online SWMP tool • Guiding you through the stages of a SWMP • Fully interactive – prepare, implement and review a SWMP combined with measurement and monitoring of waste • Designed for compliance with Code for Sustainable Homes and BREEAM • Accessed via secure username and password • Ability to download and print SWMP

  12. SMARTWaste Plan • Around 3,000 companies registered • 2,000 projects – value of over £40 billion • 72% of the top 50 contractors • 4 million tonnes of waste measured • Users include: Sainsbury’s, M&S, Kier, Bovis Lend Lease, Taylor Woodrow etc • Bespoke versions available

  13. SMARTWaste Plan Data security • Normal industry practices of network control and server administration • All stored data is securely managed with disaster recovery backup • The data is not available for use or accessible by anyone apart from the registered user and BRE staff involved in the project Accuracy and Use • We will do our best to maintain the accuracy of the personal information you supply to us • You have the right to access and correct your personal information at any time • BRE will not sell or rent your personally identifiable, company identifiable or project identifiable information to anyone

  14. Company Project A Project B Project C SWMP & Waste data SWMP & Waste data SWMP & Waste data SMARTWaste Plan Generic Account Structure • Each company registers for an account (free) • And sets up unique username and password to log in to the account • Can also set up additional users on the account – there is a hierarchy of users with different access permission levels • Then set up projects for which you can record SWMP requirements and waste arisings data

  15. Contractor 1 Contractor 2 Project A Project A Project B Project B Project C Project C SWMP & Waste data SWMP & Waste data SWMP & Waste data SWMP & Waste data SWMP & Waste data SWMP & Waste data Client Level SMARTWaste Plan (£3,000+VAT) Client level Project linked using password from client Projects linked using password from client

  17. Data collected • Project, company and client level – aggregated • All data related to a SWMP • Types and amounts of waste (forecast & actuals) • Recovery routes (including % recovery at waste facilities) • Waste minimisation actions • Training and communication actions • Review process • Be able to split into project types, construction phases and work programmes • Regional, local levels

  18. Breakdown of performance indicators by product for residential projects

  19. Range of m3/100m2 for residential projects

  20. Benchmarks of m3/100m2 for standard, good and best practice

  21. How the data can be used? • Micro level • Help to assess planning applications in relation to construction waste • Help with assessing information in relation to Site Waste Management Plan Regulations and the Code for Sustainable Homes • Set targets for waste reduction and recovery for projects through planning conditions • Estimate the likely amount and type of waste arisings for a project • Move projects from standard to best practice

  22. How the data can be used? • Macro level • Assess development and construction policies in terms of likely amount of waste produced e.g. housing • Aid in waste planning through assessing existing and future capacitates of waste facilities for construction waste • Set targets and/or provide appropriate guidance for reduction and recovery of waste in planning policies and guidance

  25. Benefits • Data gained throughout entirety of project • Easy access – web based • Relatively cheap way to collect data • Industry have to do this anyway i.e. SWMP Regulations • Drives performance by setting standards, benchmarks • More use….the better the data….

  26. The future…. • Refurbishment and civils version • Set 2008 baseline with Strategic Forum’s Sub Group on Waste • Analyse data from SMARTWaste Plan by waste type • Arisings • Recovery • Enable reporting of ½ waste to landfill through SMARTWaste with WRAP • Better measurement at waste facility • Life cycle assessment data for end of life options • Better wastage rate for key products
