Good Practice Waste Minimisation and Management

Implementing good practice waste minimisation and management (WMM) on construction projects will help reduce the significant quantities of construction waste sent to landfill and make a substantial contribution to sustainable development. 

A suite of guidance documents have been developed in order to assist construction clients, design teams and main contractors achieve good practice waste minimisation and management (WMM) on their construction projects setting out why it is important, who should implement it and how it can be made an explicit requirement of the procurement process.

Good practice WMM can be applied to all forms of construction project, including new build, refurbishment, fit-out and infrastructure and provide a range of benefits including:

• reduce material and disposal costs through reduction in the materials ordered and waste taken to landfill;
• increase competitive advantage through differentiation; and
• respond to and pre-empt changes in public policy, such as increases in Landfill tax.
