Contractors Waste Working Group
Wates and Willmott Dixon lead
• First defined terms of reference.
Focus on physical waste to landfill
- not recycled content
- not site management of waste / logistics plans
- not process waste (time waste)
- not SWMP
 Measurement method
e.g. tonnes vs. m3
vs. SYSE
frequency of reporting
% recycled, or tonnes, or m3
/£100k?

Conclusions
• Minimising waste to landfill is particularly important to the public sector
• IESE, and the framework suppliers, have put considerable effort into the
initiative over and above their day-jobs
• IESE cannot be proscriptive (contractual) over waste minimisation but is
concentrating on culture change, and a collaborative approach across all parts
of the project team.
• Developing consistent, reliable and representative measurement of waste
across different contracts and contractors is very hard.
