Operational Waste Management Plans (OWMP)
In cooperation with our clients, Revive can develop an Operational Waste Management Plan (OWMP) during the Pre-Planning or existing operational stage of residential and commercial projects.
This plan demonstrates how the proposed development and current operational facilities incorporate sustainable waste management methods, setting targets for waste management.
The OWMP sets out the sustainable waste management principles for managing operational waste generated by the facilities and would be developed in accordance with relevant national, regional, and local waste management legislation/policies, with the key aims of:
- Contributing towards achieving current and long-term UK government and local authority targets for waste minimisation, recycling and re-use.
- Providing estimates on the anticipated waste generation within the proposed development.
- Providing a strategy for the management of the anticipated waste generation within the proposed development, from waste generation to waste collection and off-site treatment.
- Ensuring that residents and/or tenants can easily segregate recyclables and are encouraged to do so.
- Allowing waste to be disposed of easily and be stored & collected in an efficient and discreet manner.
- Ensuring that the proposed development has adequate facilities and space to adapt to any future waste management trends and practices.
- Ensuring that national and local targets, as well as all client waste management aims and aspirations, are met.
- Incorporating “futureproofing” waste management practices, taking into account changes in policies and practices.
- Implementing procedures in dealing with waste as per the Waste Hierarchy.
