CRM Brochure

The table below provides details of the different waste streams generated by Dawnus for the period January – March 2013, and the amount recovered and recycled by CRM.Waste Statistics 2013Notes:1. CRM is currently upgrading its facilities and will be able to recycle more glass and insulation, which will increase the amount of material recycled.2. As these figures are from the winter months, there was less material excavated from sites than later in the year; this figure will increase as the year progresses, and the proportion of recycled material overall will therefore increase. DawnusGroupWaste ManagementPrinted on recycled paperDawnus is committed to the minimisation of waste on all its sites, and maximizing recycling and re-use opportunities. Our waste strategy is designed to provide direction to ensure the most cost effective and environmentally sustainable management of waste is achieved on our sites. We work closely with our supply chain, our clients and their partners to ensure we minimise waste throughout the company, and strive for innovation and continuous improvement throughout. Our Environmental Management System is ISO14001 accredited and audited biannually by BM Trada. We are also pursuing ISO14064-1 accreditation to help monitor and benchmark our carbon footprint.

Dawnus reduced waste sent to landfill from 11.7% to 4.7% between 2009 and 2012, exceeding our target of 5.5%.At Dawnus, we adopt the well known sustainable waste hierarchy which prioritises the most environmentally sustainable approach to waste and resource managementTo provide the most accurate information, we gather data on waste generated by both volume and weight. Volume data is based on the size of each waste collection receptacle, while weights are recorded for each skip that leaves site. For all Dawnus projects, data is collected and reports are prepared using the SMARTWaste Plan, part of the BRE SMARTWaste system.SMARTWaste Plan is a benchmarking and monitoring tool that allows each site to enter data regarding the materials that leave their site as waste. As containers are loaded (skips) or leave the site (bins) they are visually assessed and the percentage volume of 12 waste groups is recorded. The Site Waste Management Plan contains targets and procedures for reducing landfill and maximising the use of recycled or secondary aggregates, based on best practice.Working with CRMConstruction Recyclate Management (CRM) Ltd works in conjunction with Dawnus Construction to maximise the amount of waste reclaimed and recycled on all projects.CRM assists with the Site Waste Management Plans on all Dawnus projects, liaising with the Project Manager and the company Environmental Manager to provide expert advice and fulfill sustainability obligations and targets.The management of our own construction and demolition waste is essential to minimising the amount of waste sent to landfill. This is achieved by:Æ Preconstruction waste stream review and creating a Site Waste Management PlanÆ Encouraging segregation of waste at site level by the provision of multiple skips designated by waste streamÆ Sorting each mixed waste skip into its constituent recyclable partsÆ Working with the client and the waste industry and WRAP to source local outlets for all recyclable materialsÆ Reprocessing recyclates for use on other sites Æ Producing accurate feedback, to site, on recycling rates in a timely mannerÆ Keeping up-to-speed with waste industry best practice and innovation and communicating this to Dawnus' site teamsCONSTRUCTION RECYCLATE MANAGEMENTDawnus is committed to the minimisation of waste on all its sites, and maximizing recycling and re-use opportunities.
