The production of waste and its disposal impacts on the use of raw materials, production of emissions, increased potential for pollution and use of land.  We support the use of a Waste Management Strategy. All our fixed and temporary sites use the principles of the waste hierarchy to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle and stream and recycle waste wherever possible.  In offices this includes recycling paper, printer cartridges and redundant equipment, and on sites can include timber, metals and inert hardcore. Arrangements are also in place to record and address any pollution incidents and near misses.

Sustainability in practice •On the Armada project, arrangements have been made with manufacturers to recycle plasterboard waste and all demolition waste was crushed, graded and reused on site. •By raising awareness and installing recycling facilities at all 350 Croydon Council properties, recycling levels have improved from 116 tonnes to over 300. •320 tonnes of waste are recycled each year across the PRUPIM portfolio as a result of recycling programmes implemented by MacLellan, now owned by Interserve. •Over 3000 administrative waste paper bins have been replaced by 300 strategically-placed recycling centres at Boots Headquarters. •Project Services operates a waste skip service and waste transfer station.
