Carbon  Trust  Waste  Standard  

The  types  of  waste  covered  by  the  Waste  Standard  

›  The  Waste  Standard  will  include  ›  All  forms  of  solid  waste  ›  All  forms  of  hazardous  waste;  and  ›  All  other  waste  types  and  subtypes  that  organisa>ons  are  required  to  

dispose  of  via  waste  contractors  

›  The  Waste  Standard  will  exclude  ›  Gaseous  waste  and  liquid  effluent  that  holders  are  not            required  to  handle  

Metrics   Details  

Total  weight  of  waste  generated  

•  Preference  is  tonnes  of  waste  generated    •  Depending  on  data  availability,  we  can  process  volume  of  waste  generated  

Waste  split  according  to  types  and  subtypes  

•  We  use  European  Waste  Codes  (EWCs)  •  We  can  help  you  classify  your  waste  

Waste  split  according  to  des>na>on  

•  We  want  to  know  where  the  waste  is  going  so  that  we  can  classify  its  des>na>on  according  to  the  European  Waste  Hierarchy  

Revenue,  or  other  company  metrics  Waste  intensity  

•  As  with  Carbon  or  Water,  we  want  to  work  out  Waste  Intensity  expressed  as    tonnes  of  total  waste  generated  per  appropriate  metric  (e.g.  per  unit  of  output,  per  revenue)  

We  measure  total  waste  by  type,  and  by  hierarchy  des>na>on  

MEASURE  

Organisa>ons  will  be  awarded  the  Waste  Standard  if  they  can  demonstrate  year-­‐on-­‐year  improvements  in  the  following  areas…  

Achievement/progress   Details   Annual  targets  

Reduc>on  in  absolute  waste  

•  Reduc>on  in  total  waste  in  an  absolute  sense    

•  e.g.  tonnes  of  waste  generated  in  2012  versus  2013)  

•  >  0  

Reduc>on  in  waste  intensity  

•  Reduc>on  in  waste,  >ed  to  an  appropriate  company  metric    

•  e.g.  tonnes  of  waste/£m  turnover  

•  1.4%  (average  UK  economic  growth  2003-­‐2013)  

Overall  movements  in  hierarchy  

•  A  net  posi>ve  movement  of  waste  along  the  hierarchy    

•  e.g.  if  an  organisa>on  sent  5  tonnes  of  plas>c  to  landfill  and  1  tonne  to  recycling  in  2012,  but  only  1  tonne  to  landfill  and  5  tonnes  to  recycling  in  2013,  that  is  a  net  posi>ve  movement  of  4  tonnes  on  the  hierarchy  

•  >  0  (percentage  point  movement)  

•  Annual  improvements  in  the  amount  of  waste  reused,  recycled,  and  sent  to  energy  recovery  (by  total  waste  or  waste  stream)  

 

Qualita>ve  criteria  under  the  Waste  Standard  

Criteria   Details

Waste  accoun3ng  

Monitoring,  measuring  and  repor3ng  •  Waste  genera>on  data  are  measured  and  documented  

Waste  hierarchy  •  Waste  hierarchy  is  applied  by  organisa>on  within  defined  boundaries  and  by  waste  handlers  in  the  disposi>on  chain  

Management   Targets  •  Waste  reduc>on  and  waste  hierarchy  targets  are  in  place  

Training  and  competence  •  Staff  are  sufficiently  trained  and  are  competent  to  fulfil  their  obliga>ons  

Waste  reduc3on  programmes  and  investments  •  Measures  are  taken  to  reduce  waste,  and  relevant  investments  are  in  place  

Upstream  impacts  •  A  procurement  policy  that  priori>ses  waste  minimisa>on  has  been  developed  

Downstream  impacts  •  Considera>on  is  given  to  the  downstream  impacts  of  products  and/or  packaging  

Waste  management  services  •  Organisa>on  procures  the  services  of  registered  and  responsible  waste  handlers  

Completeness  of  data  •  Organisa>on  provides  an  adequate  quan>ty  and  quality  of  data  to  allow  for  the  comple>on  of  a  robust  assessmnet
