Environment in the Construction Industry

07/12/2009 by Geoff.

Are you in the construction industry? Do you want to be part of delivering sustainable construction?   Then visit www.constructionproducts.org.uk  The Construction Products Association aims to work with the construction products industry in the development of products and processes that contribute to a more sustainable built environment. 

There has been several updates this month in NetRegs:  Lights Out for Inefficient Bulbs: Restrictions on the type of lamps and light bulbs that can be manufactured and imported are being introduced to improve energy efficiency and reduce mercury emissions from lamps. Certain types of inefficient lamps and light bulbs will be banned. Site Waste Its Criminal - 10m tonnes of construction products are wasted every year, at a cost of £1.5 billion. Much of this site waste is harmful to the environment and costly to your business. Site Waste Management Plans (SWMPs) will help you manage site waste more effectively, reducing potential harm to the environment and human health. SWMPs are now a legal requirement in

England for all construction projects that were started after 6 April 2008 with an estimated construction cost of over £300,000.

 

Do you need assistance with your site waste management plans? If so why not give

EMS a call
