Waste Management Policy

Introduction

This policy supports CAP.CO’s Sustainable Procurement, Environmental, and Health and Safety Policies, and establishes a framework for all waste management practices across the business.

Policy Objectives

– Ensure waste management practices protect human health and the environment in accordance with all legislative requirements.

– Minimise waste generation across the entire business and prioritise repair, recovery, reuse, and recycling over disposal to landfill.

– Promote environmental awareness and best practice among our staff and supply chain partners.

We will do this by:

CAP.CO applies a waste hierarchy approach – reduce, reuse, recycle, and recover – in preference to landfill disposal.

– Using only authorised, licensed waste management companies.

– Providing staff with training and equipment to facilitate accurate measuring and ordering to reduce waste at source.

– Encouraging and supporting the reuse of materials wherever practicable.

– Selecting materials, equipment, and components that can be readily recycled when necessary.

– Monitoring, measuring, and recording our waste monthly, and addressing shortfalls in our waste and recycling statistics.

– Implementing procedures for sorting, reusing, and recycling waste into defined streams, either on site, at our workshop, or via licensed waste contractors.

– Encouraging suppliers to use only essential packaging and greener alternatives wherever possible.

– Reducing single-use plastics as far as practicable.

– Providing adequate training to staff on waste management best practices.

– Minimising the use of paper and cardboard products, and promoting the use of paper from sustainable or recycled sources.

– Assigning clear responsibilities to key personnel for the delivery of this policy.

– Requiring all staff and supply chain partners to comply with this policy and all environmental and waste legislation.
