Operational Waste Management Plans
What is an Operational Waste Management Plan?
An Operational Waste Management Plan (OWMP) is developed to demonstrate how the proposed development or current operational facilities will incorporate sustainable waste management methods.
These set targets for waste management, helping developments achieve measurable environmental performance, reduce waste handling costs and contribute to broader circular economy objectives.
Working with our Client, Revive Audits will develop the OWMP, in accordance with BREEAM and local authority planning requirements.
The OWMP will lay out the sustainable waste management principles for managing operational waste generated by the facilities and will be developed in accordance with relevant national, regional, and local waste management legislation/policies.
Aims of the OWMP
The key aims of the OWMP are:
- 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
