1 Promotional Campaign to Local Authorities – Recycled Roads Executive Summary

Over the period January to March, 2005 a series of highly successful interactive workshops was run for local authorities throughout England to help them maximise the use of recycled and secondary aggregates (RSA) in highways and street maintenance.

‘Recycled Roads – Building Knowledge, Engineering Confidence’ was a series of ten events funded by WRAP and managed by BRE and TRL. Almost 500 delegates attended, drawn from over 100 local authorities, their advisors and suppliers and each event in the series generated highly positive feedback and a real appreciation of the opportunities and benefits of using recycled materials.

The workshops focused on three key areas : how to make recycling work; how to use the procurement process to specify more recycled material; and how technical and design specifications are readily available for ‘quick wins’. Each of these themes was covered in an interactive session with delegates able to bring forward their own experience and share best practice. A strong local flavour was provided at each event, with regionally-based speakers providing local case study examples.

Speakers at the events were drawn from leading exponents in highways, recycling and procurement. These included Murray Reid from TRL, Gilli Hobbs and Katherine Adams from BRE, Steve Biczysko from and David O’Farrell from Symonds. In addition to speaker presentations and workshops, a small exhibition at each event helped to enhance the delivery of knowledge and provide practical examples of recycled products, techniques and applications.

One of the particularly useful outcomes from the workshops was the feedback and injection of ideas from delegates, both during the events and as part of the post-event feedback questionnaire. This has provided a great deal of highly useful information on the opportunities, barriers and requirements for an increased level of recycling for highways maintenance. For example, over two-thirds of questionnaire respondents knew that their organisation had a corporate policy related to sustainability and recycling and delegates reported the need for a stronger link between this type of high level policies and highways maintenance.

Delegates also reported that term contracts are the most popular procurement method, closely followed by partnering. Partnering is highlighted as a major opportunity, giving greater scope for innovation, a focus on quality and providing encouragement for continuous improvement. The use of Key Performance Indicators related to resource efficiency and recycling was also recommended as well as giving a greater weighting to quality over price in tender evaluations as a means of encouraging more recycling.

Over three-quarters of local authorities use the Specification for Highway Works (SHW) and about a third use this with local variations. The impact the SHW has on local authority highways maintenance and increasing recycled content cannot be over-estimated and it may be beneficial to develop the SHW for different classes of roads.

The workshops provided an excellent picture of the current state-of-play in highways recycling. The most popular application for recycled materials is in footways and cyclepaths, followed by bituminous pavements. Typically, County Councils are involved in a wider range of applications than other smaller local authorities. County Council’s in the South East and East Anglia were typically slightly ahead than their counterparts in other regions.

2 Promotional Campaign to Local Authorities – Recycled Roads Smaller local authorities have cited problems including a lack of resources and difficulties in finding suitable sites for storing and processing waste arisings. This suggests there is real need to target these smaller local authorities and address the barriers, as well as to continue to encourage County Councils to continue developing their usage, especially for higher value applications.

It is estimated that around 7% of all local authorities (8.5% in England) require recycling in their highways contracts. Undoubtedly, this series of workshops will contribute to an increase in this figure and help WRAP to reach their target ‘to promote and facilitate the specification, procurement and use of recycled and secondary aggregates such that 20% of local authorities are specifying these materials by 2006’. A number of local authorities who attended one or more events have already reported that they are already implementing reuse and recycling policies as a result of the workshops.

It is anticipated that at least two more ‘Recycled Roads’ events will be held this Autumn. The workshops were very well attended and in many cases were quickly fully booked and generated a waiting list of would-be attendees. This excellent turnout can be attributed to the focused marketing strategy and the support provided by a number of key organisations including Highways Agency, Institution of Civil Engineers, the Civil Engineering Contractors Association, , County Surveyors’ Society, Institute of Highways Incorporated Engineers and the Institution of Highways and Transportation.

The ‘Recycled Roads’ brand created by this series of workshops is now well established and in a position whereby WRAP could move forward in a proactive way to provide more information, guidance and assistance to local authorities, their contractors and consultants. This could include undertaking similar events in Scotland and Wales, regular newsletters, email alerts, a question and answer or a forum section on the AggRegain website (www.aggregain.org.uk).

Importantly, a forward programme of similar styled events would maintain momentum, further enhance uptake and develop the opportunities for recycling. Clearly there is a strong interest amongst local authorities and a ready desire for the tools, guidance and techniques to allow them to increase the size and scope of their recycling activities for highways.

4 Promotional Campaign to Local Authorities – Recycled Roads 1 Introduction

The aim of the promotional campaign was to provide Local Authorities with sufficient information, practical guidance and motivation to change or improve existing practices for the use of recycled and secondary aggregates in street maintenance. This included those involved in procurement, specification and the use of aggregates in highway and street maintenance.

The objectives of the programme were to:

• Produce an effective campaign programme, including event content and training materials. • Establish a skilled team of expert presenters, for delivery of the campaign. • Identify, target and attract relevant attendees for each regional event. • Produce and implement a marketing campaign for the events. • Deliver ten regional events with a minimum of 30 Local Authority highway and street maintenance staff, their consultants and contractors, per event. • Produce delegate packs incorporating details of the event presentations and appropriate guidance. • Manage ten regional events, including event logistics and delegate registration • Complete a project review and produce a summary report providing an indication of potential changes in awareness, attitude and practice as a result of the promotional campaign, and recommendations for future measurement of changes in behaviour.

This report aims to satisfy the last objective. The workshops entitled ‘Recycled Roads’ were highly successful with over 500 delegates registered, 300 of these from Local Authorities, representing over 100 Local Authorities in the UK. Over three quarters of County Councils were represented and over half of Metropolitan Councils.

Initially the promotional campaign was split into two key parts:

Part A – preparation of the workshop material and provision of other support related to marketing and delivering the programme Part B – marketing and management of the workshops.

However, the two aspects were developed in tandem, as this was the logical way to produce a consistent and well prepared programme of events.

The first part of the programme of work revolved around developing the content for suitably informative and inspirational workshops around England. This also involved identifying and signing up speakers to form the core part of the workshop content, with two regional speakers per event to provide a local flavour to the key messages. Simultaneously, 10 suitable venues were identified and reserved across England to maximise Local Authority participation, including 2 in London. The workshops were branded under the ‘Recycled Roads’ label to give the campaign an easily recognisable identity, which WRAP could continue to use.

It was vital to market the workshops in a targeted way to get a good mix of Local Authority representatives and their contractors. The target was to get between 30 and 50 delegates to each venue. A mini flyer was produced to advertise the forthcoming events and register an initial interest. These were sent to the target list of potential delegates and distributed at other events that potential delegates might be attending.

5 Promotional Campaign to Local Authorities – Recycled Roads Once the programme and venues were finalised, a final programme and invitation to register was sent to the targeted listing of potential delegates and those who had registered an interest in attending. The workshops were also advertised on websites (TRL, BRE, WRAP and others), trade journals and other magazines. In addition, a small amount of exhibition space was made available to suppliers at each venue. Attendance and exhibiting was free of charge. The main flyer was also inserted into the Surveyor. However, this proved partly unnecessary as the workshops had, by that time, attracted sufficient numbers of delegates to proceed.

In addition, a number of key organisations were approached to endorse and market the workshops and enlisted to help in the identification of regional speakers. The organisations were the Civil Engineering Contractors Association (CECA), Constructing Excellence (the Local Government Task Force), County Surveyors’ Society, Highways Agency, Institute of Highway Incorporated Engineers, the Institution of Highways and Transportation and the Institution of Civil Engineers.

A steering group was also set up, led by Jason Russell of the London Borough of Merton. The steering group provided input to the content of the workshops, assisted in obtaining regional speakers and marketed the workshops.

Delegates who attended the workshops were given a branded ‘Recycled Roads’ A4 Ring Binder containing copies of the presentations, briefing papers and a CD containing the presentations. Additional delegate materials were inserted into a branded “Recycled Roads” bag made from cotton from a sustainable source. These included WRAP documents, case studies and useful web links; plus a branded pen and coaster

The workshops relate to two important targets of the WRAP Aggregates Programme:

• to bring about a 10% increase in the use of recycled and secondary aggregates in higher value applications by 2006 • to promote and facilitate the specification, procurement and use of recycled and secondary aggregates such that 20% of Local Authorities are specifying these materials by 2006.

6 Promotional Campaign to Local Authorities – Recycled Roads 2 Description of the workshops

10 workshops were held from January to March 2005. Table 1 below lists the dates and venues of the workshops.

Table 1: Dates and locations of the 10 workshops

Date Venue and Location 21st January Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre, London 26th January Mere Golf and Country Club, Nr Manchester 2nd February Marriott Gosforth Park, Newcastle 3rd February Queens Hotel, Leeds 9th February Marriott City Centre, Bristol 10th February Hilton, Southampton 24th February Renaissance Hotel, Solihull, Nr Birmingham 2nd March Park Plaza Hotel, Nottingham 3rd March The Cambridge Belfry, Cambridge 9th March Savoy Place, London

The programme for the workshops is in Appendix A. It was agreed by the project team and WRAP that the day should be interactive with a mix of presentations and workshops sessions. It was imperative to give clear, consistent messages with regard to the opportunities and benefits of using recycled and secondary aggregates (RSA). In addition, references to work undertaken by WRAP which could guide the attendees were given at every opportunity. It was decided that the workshops should focus on three key areas: how to make recycling work with case studies, how to specify more recycled content through the procurement process, and technical specifications.

Overall, the project team felt that the events ran smoothly and were well organised. Many of the delegates appeared to be on a fact finding mission with regards to recycling and the balance of the overall programme served the delegates well. A stronger message could have been given with regards to composting and the use of non-aggregate products within the highways environment, including highlighting it earlier in the day. More information could also have been included with regards to recycled products availability in that local area. Delegates enjoyed the networking opportunities and exhibitions and for future events, longer breaks and lunches should be considered.

All of the venues met the needs of the events, although the Southampton and London venues were rather small for the audience and Nottingham also had limited space. The IT management was adequate, after a slow start, although the opening animation could have been better. Direct contact between the client and the IT/staging company early on in the process would have been beneficial. Extra signage, to help delegates find their way around the venue more easily, would also have been beneficial at some of the venues.

Content of the workshops All workshops followed the same programme. The presentations are outlined below along with the key messages for each one.

7 Promotional Campaign to Local Authorities – Recycled Roads Welcome and introduction – this was given by a WRAP Aggregates Team Member and focused on the WRAP Aggregates Programme, AggRegain and the objectives for the day.

Recycling in a Local Highway Works (Anything is Possible) – four recent case studies prepared for WRAP were presented by Murray Reid of TRL. These focused on a variety of applications and types of RSA including earthworks, granular fly ash, bituminous and concrete pavements, and in- situ recycling. Main messages from this session included the fact that recycling is more effective when driven by the client, that early contractor involvement encourages innovation, and quality control is essential.

Procurement and specifying recycled content – presented by either Katherine Adams or Gilli Hobbs of BRE. This included key messages from the Big Picture: Specifying recycled in local authority contracts for highway maintenance: good practice, an introduction to the WRAP project on a model approach to procurement practice including best practice, the use of tender and contract clauses (another WRAP publication) and forward planning.

Making Recycling Work in the Local Authority Environment – presented by Steve Biczysko of Atkins who discussed local authority corporate objectives, the difficulties of making recycling work, a strategy for reusable materials, reuse impact potential and a case study from Northamptonshire.

Specifications to Encourage Recycling – David O’Farrell from Capita Symonds presented information relating to specifications and what was currently available, how to describe materials in terms of fitness for purpose and design guidance.

Using Composting in Landscaping Works – presented by a WRAP Composting Team Member or a WRAP Aggregates Team Member focused on the benefits of compost, compost applications, case studies and the benefits of other recycled products including mulch and plastic.

Summary – Steve Biczysko of Atkins provided the summary for the day which incorporated all of the key messages and a strong message of ‘go forth and recycle’.

Regional speakers 2 regional speakers spoke at each workshop for approximately 15 minutes. All of the speakers presented on issues related to recycling in highways maintenance. Table 2 below shows the regional speakers for each workshop. 35% of the speakers were from Local Authorities, the remaining 65% were a combination of suppliers and contractors. The regional speakers were essential to the success of the events in illustrating the practical aspects of recycling, although at some venues it proved difficult in obtaining them. More Local Authorities should be encouraged to speak at similar events as these speakers usually empowered the audience (especially the delegates representing Local Authorities).

In addition, 3 interactive workshops were held throughout the day as outlined below:

Workshop 1: Local authority procurement practices The aim of this workshop was firstly, to establish if there is a direct link between having corporate objectives relating to sustainability and actual recycling performance (though there will always be some exceptions). Secondly, by discussing various procurement methods, to make delegates aware of how innovative methods such as partnering and frameworks can favour recycling and create a favourable climate among all stakeholders, leading to greater innovation and better recycling performance. Finally, to enable delegates to look at the practices of their own organisation and decide what they would like to change to encourage greater recycling.

A questionnaire was sent out to delegates prior to the event asking the following questions. The full questionnaire is in Appendix B.

Q1: Does your organisation have any corporate policies relating specifically to recycling or generally to sustainability? Please give brief details.

Q2: What procurement methods do you use for highway and street maintenance (circle one or more from the list below)? Direct tender, term contract, framework, partnering, PFI and other

Q3: Do you require/specify the use of recycled content in the highways and street maintenance procurement methods (as identified above)? If yes, please give brief details

9 Promotional Campaign to Local Authorities – Recycled Roads Q4: Do you have set targets for recycled content in contracts for highway and street maintenance? If yes, please give brief details.

Q5: What specifications do you use for highway and street maintenance? Do they permit the use of recycled materials? Specification for Highway Works, SHW with local variations, HAUC specifications, TRL 386/611, Local Authority adoption specifications

Q 6: Do you regularly use recycled materials or in-situ/ex-situ asphalt recycling techniques in any of the following applications? Footways/cycle paths, structural concrete, concrete pavements, bituminous pavements: surface course and surface dressing, bituminous pavements: base and binder course, haunching, sub base, capping and earthworks.

The results to these questions were then presented and discussed in the first workshop, along with these 3 questions:

• Is there a link between corporate sustainability objectives and higher levels of recycling in practice?

• What are the advantages and disadvantages of different methods of procurement in terms of encouraging recycling?

• What would you like to change in your organisation to encourage greater recycling?

Workshop 2: Procurement options Delegates were asked to answer the following questions for each case study, based on their own experience and group discussions for each case study.

• Do you agree that this is good practice?

• If not, what would you recommend?

• Can you use this within your own environment, if not, why not?

Case Study 1: Incentivisation and reward of a contractor under an existing non- partnering type contract • Set up a partnership way of working with own Board and cost centre • Share out the profit, with the local authority getting the biggest percentage, all profit put back into highways maintenance • All works designed using a standard schedule of works based on traditional rates and specifications, if cheaper the partnership will get a profit. • Set up a working party (brief from the Board) to come up with a policy to use as much recycled material as possible - therefore recycled materials are looked at as the first option.

Case Study 2: Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) usage within a contract • % by mass of recycled and secondary material in un-bound aggregates used for all sub-base and capping works • % by mass of recycled and secondary materials in bituminous bound aggregates in all footway and pavement works

10 Promotional Campaign to Local Authorities – Recycled Roads • % by mass of all bituminous bound aggregate derived from recycled glass of domestic origin • % of heavy vehicles taking backhaulage to or from the site • % of all aggregates (including recycled and secondary) sourced within a 50km radius of the site • % all arisings from the construction works (including wastage, excavated material, planings, etc) which is not disposed of to landfill or incineration • % energy savings in material production and/or usage compared with conventional alternatives

Case Study 3: Criteria for tender evaluation Returned tenders assessed against a quality/cost model

Criterion Indicative Weight (%) Cost 60 Managerial experience of key personnel 5 Method statements 5 Quality assurance plan 5 Programme 5 Heath and safety planning 5 Sustainability policy 5 Sustainability questionnaire 5 Recycled and secondary aggregate usage 5

Total 100

The aim of this workshop was to produce examples of good practice of specifying recycled and secondary aggregates within the procurement process, share best practice and understand any requirements and limitations.

Workshop 3: Specifications to encourage recycling Delegates at each table were asked discuss the following two examples of situations that are commonly faced by Local Authority Highway Engineers in urban and rural situations and consider ways to maximise recycling.

Example 1 It is proposed to reconstruct a 300 metre length of a principal road in an urban area.

The existing construction has been investigated by coring and was found to be a variable thickness of asphalt (150mm – 250mm) overlying a granular material. In-situ DCP testing indicates that this granular material would meet the performance requirements for a class 2 foundation. The new structure will be designed for a life of 20msa.

A footway with paving slabs (flagstones) runs along both sides of the road. Many of the flagstones are cracked or broken and sections of the footway are uneven. The decision has been made to renovate the footway.

What options are there to use recycled materials in this scheme and how would you specify them?

• for the carriageway

11 Promotional Campaign to Local Authorities – Recycled Roads • for the footway

Example 2 It is proposed to construct some cycle tracks and a car parking area in a large Country Park. Some areas of the car park and some of the adjoining paths are required to be suitable for wheelchair users. Some of the cycle tracks will be constructed on top of a disused railway embankment and the remainder will be in “greenfield” conditions following the existing ground profile.

What options are there to use recycled materials in this scheme and how would you specify them?

• for the parking and wheelchair accessible areas

• for the cycle tracks

The aim of the workshop was to give delegates a chance to use their experience and imagination to use recycling in two situations, one urban and one rural.

The overall messages and results from each workshop were recorded and sent to all of the delegates. Key messages from Workshops 1 and to a lesser extent, Workshop 2 are discussed in the delegate feedback part of this report.

The workshops sessions worked sufficiently well, although there was a lack of time in these sessions to cover all of the material and workshops 1 and 2 could have been more structured. They did however, encourage the opportunity for transferring knowledge between organisations and networking. It could also be difficult to get contributions from all delegates, especially those doing little recycling currently.

Each table had around 40 minutes of discussion per workshop, followed by a 10 minute opportunity to offer main points in a rounding up session. The notes from each table and round up were later typed up and emailed out to the delegates.

12 Promotional Campaign to Local Authorities – Recycled Roads 3 Delegate attendance

The total number of registered delegates for all 10 events was 553 with 478 attending. This averages 55 delegates registered per event. Of these 553, 291 were from Local Authorities representing an overall 53%. If those delegates attending from public / private partnerships are included, the figure rises to 310 delegates or 56% of the total audience.

A total of 102 Local Authorities attended the workshops (including regional speakers). Of these 89 were English Local Authorities, 8 were Welsh Local Authorities, 4 were Scottish Local Authorities and 1 from the Isle of Man. Table 3 shows the Local Authorities per event, and Appendix C has a combined list for all 10 events.

Figure 1 shows the distribution of Local Authorities which attended the events throughout England, a total of 89. There is a good overall coverage throughout England.

15 Promotional Campaign to Local Authorities – Recycled Roads

Figure 1: Distribution of Local Authorities attending the workshops in England

Figure 2 shows the distribution of London Boroughs who attended the events. Overall the coverage is relatively poor, especially considering 2 events were held in London. 13 London Boroughs attended the workshops out of 33, representing 39%. It is recommended that WRAP target the remaining London Borough’s and Transport for London.

Figure 3 shows the distribution of Scottish Local Authorities who attended the workshops. Although the workshops were targeted and held in England, 4 did attend. A series of similar roadshows (possibly 2) could be held in Scotland with support from the Scottish Executive and SEPA. The content of the workshops would have to be altered to reflect the issues and concerns pertinent to Scotland. Similarly, Figure 4 shows the distribution of Welsh Local Authorities who attended the workshops, with a total of 8. Again, it is recommended that at least one workshop could be held in Wales, supported by the Welsh Assembly Government. The workshop content should be altered to reflect issues pertinent to Wales.

Figure 3: Distribution of Scottish Local Authorities attending the workshops

17 Promotional Campaign to Local Authorities – Recycled Roads

Figure 4: Distribution of Welsh Local Authorities attending the workshops

The Local Authorities attending have been analysed in terms of their type i.e. County Council, Unitary Council, Metropolitan Council, City Council, London Metropolitan Council and Borough and District Council. This is because the functions of the types of Local Authorities in terms of highways maintenance varies dependant upon their type and role. County, Unitary and Metropolitan Councils will usually be responsible for the highways within their area, these will be principal, non-principal and unclassified roads. The Highways Agency is responsible for the motorway and trunk road network. In London, Transport for London is responsible for the red routes and the London Boroughs manage the rest of the road network. City, Borough and District Councils may be contracted to manage the road network for their areas by the County Council’s.

A list is provided for each type of local authority who did attend the workshops and those who did not, including the percentage for the category. This will enable WRAP to target each type of local authority in terms of specifying more recycled content and those who did not attend the workshops. Appendix D has a number of figures displaying the geographical distribution of the Local Authorities by type.

24 Promotional Campaign to Local Authorities – Recycled Roads 4 Delegate feedback and assessment of current practice

This section presents delegate feedback from the workshops and from the feedback form. From this information an assessment of current practice is made. The questionnaire sent out for workshop 1 had a return rate of about 25%.

Workshop 1 For the first question for workshop 1, does your organisation have any corporate policies relating specifically to recycling or generally to sustainability, 105 respondents answered yes (66%), 21 answered no (13%) and the remaining 33 didn’t know (21%). A total of 159 forms were received out of a possible 583, the response rate being 27%. Encouragingly two-thirds did know that they had a corporate policy for sustainability, but perhaps better communication is required in organisations which didn’t know.

When Local Authorities (including public/private partnerships) in England only were considered, the patterns were very similar to the overall result, though the number of responses (77) was less than half the total received. 71% of LA respondents answered yes, 8% answered no and the remainder (21%) didn’t know.

For question 2, what procurement methods do you use for highway and street maintenance, 65% of respondents (148 in total) both use term contract and direct tender. Nearly a quarter (24%) use framework contracts, 51% are in some form of partnering arrangement and 11% in a PFI style contracts. The categories are not mutually exclusive, with most organisations being involved in a variety of contractual arrangements. For Local Authorities in England only there were some significant differences. The proportion involved in term contracts and partnering was similar to the overall survey, at 65% and 55% respectively. However, the number of Local Authorities involved in direct tenders (43%), frameworks (13%) and PFI contracts (6%) was significantly lower than for the respondents as a whole.

Encouragingly it seems that more Local Authorities are working towards partnering types of procurement, which usually allows more innovation, focus on quality and encouragement for continuous improvement, including the scope of using RSA. Partnering was used by Local Authorities in all parts of England, but only at the Cambridge event was it the most popular form of contractual arrangement. The breakdown of contractual arrangements for all Local Authority respondents in England (77) is shown on Figure 6.

Assessment of current practice Question 3 related to the requirement/specification of the use of recycled content in the highways and street maintenance procurement methods. The response was 41% did require this, 46% didn’t and the remaining 13% did not know. This is an important question as it relates to the WRAP target of 20% of all Local Authorities specifying recycled content in local authority highways maintenance. In hindsight, it seems that the question was too loosely worded and the term ‘require/specify’ could be misconstrued. Therefore, for 6 of the 10 workshops, a straw poll was carried out to determine the current baseline figure. By doing this, the Local Authorities who had not completed their questionnaire could also be counted

The number of Local Authorities who did say they required recycling in their contracts for highways maintenance was 15 (14 English and 1 Welsh). For Local Authorities in England this represents 15% of all Local Authorities that attended the event (14 out of 91). The Local Authorities are:

• Cornwall County Council • Devon County Council • Gloucestershire County Council • Monmouthshire County Council • Dorset County Council • Hampshire County Council • Staffordshire County Council • Nottinghamshire County Council • Broxstowe Borough Council • Northamptonshire County Council

26 Promotional Campaign to Local Authorities – Recycled Roads • Essex County Council • Cambridgeshire County Council • London Borough of Islington • London Borough of Merton • Bexley Council

These do not include the first four workshops in London (January), Manchester, Newcastle and Leeds. Indications from these workshops were that relatively few Local Authorities had a requirement for recycling.

A number of other Local Authorities are also known to require recycling for their contracts1, including:

• Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council • Norfolk County Council • Surrey County Council • Lincolnshire County Council • Cheshire County Council • Kent County Council • Oxfordshire County Council • Nottingham City Council • Manchester City Council

This makes a total of 24 Local Authorities (23 in England), as shown by Figure 7. Keystroke Knowledge Ltd2, who have datasets relating to Local Authorities activities, believe there are 333 highway clients in the UK, with 270 of these in England. There are also 201 DLOs in the England, although this figure will overlap with the clients. Therefore using these figures for highway clients, set against known Local Authorities who require recycling in their contracts, 8.5% of English Local Authorities currently require recycling in their highways maintenance contracts. For the UK, the figure is 7.2%. This is recommended as the baseline for WRAP to use for measuring progress towards their target. It would be useful to obtain a complete listing of highways clients and tailor this to the work carried out by the various types of Local Authorities. This should form the basis of monitoring towards the WRAP target and short email questionnaires and telephone surveys should be carried out on a 6 month basis under the Recycled Roads banner to gather up-to-date information.

It is recommended that the above mentioned Local Authorities are interviewed to discuss how they actually require recycled content within their contracts, if not already known.

For question 4, which asked if any targets had been set for recycled content in contracts for highways and street maintenance, 34% (49 respondents) did set targets, 45% (64 respondents) did not, and a further 21% didn’t know. It would be useful, from these respondents to know what types of targets they actually set, if they are being achieved, and what are the incentives or dis- incentives for achieving them.

Question 5, asked what specifications were used for highway and street maintenance and the results for Local Authorities in England are shown in Figure 8. 77% (59 respondents) use the Specification for Highway Works (SHW), and 36% use this with local variations, 43% use the HAUC specification, 12% use TRL 386/611 and 38% use local authority adoption specifications. The pattern was very similar for the respondents as a whole. The categories are not exclusive, with most respondents using several specifications. Therefore the SHW has an enormous impact on local authority highways maintenance and increasing recycled content. It may be appropriate to investigate the level and type of local variations and having a SHW which is suitable for different classes of roads.

Question 6 focused on the use recycled materials or in-situ/ex-sit asphalt recycling techniques in a variety of applications, as shown for Local Authorities in England by Figure 9. Footways and cycle paths were the most popular with 75% using recycled materials, followed by bituminous pavements: base and binder at 70% and sub-base at 66%. Recycled materials were used in earthworks by 39% of the respondents and capping by over half (55%). 43% used recycled materials in haunching and 34% in the surface course of bituminous pavements. Amounts used in pavement concrete and structural concrete were much lower at 6% and 4% respectively. The figures were very similar for the respondents as a whole. The popularity of footways and cycle paths may be explained by the fact that they are an easy, low-risk way to try new methods and materials. However, most respondents use a number of applications, as shown by the high proportion using RSA in bituminous base and binder course and sub-base.

These figures are important as they give WRAP an idea of how recycled materials are used and the value of their application, relating to a WRAP target of increasing the use of recycled materials in higher value applications – encouragingly 34% are using recycled materials for bituminous pavements – surface course and dressing. The questionnaire asked for details of the amount of RSA used, but very few respondents provided any information on this topic. Some of the non-Local Authorities respondents gave the total tonnage of RSA handled by their organisations, but not specific details at the level of individual Local Authorities. It is thus not clear whether the usage is restricted to a few demonstration projects or is standard practice.

A total of 43 Local Authorities in England stated that they used RSA in one or more of the applications listed on Question 6. A full breakdown of results is shown on Figure 10. The Local Authorities are listed in geographical rather than alphabetical order, starting in London, working through the south of England into the Midlands and finally the North West and North East. The

29 Promotional Campaign to Local Authorities – Recycled Roads main distinction, however, is between County Councils and the other, smaller authorities, with the County Councils being involved in a wider range of applications.

Within the County Councils there is a geographic trend, with the greatest number of applications used by councils in the South East and East Anglia, with the Midlands and South West slightly behind in number of applications but with many councils using them. The top local authority in terms of number of applications is Surrey County Council with 9, with Hampshire, Essex and Norfolk all on 8. In the North West and North East the number of county councils responding to the questionnaire is less, but the Local Authority structure is complicated in this area with a number of sizeable Metropolitan Boroughs, many of whom presumably have responsibility for roads in their areas. These councils tend to use much fewer applications of RSA. In London there is a similar pattern, with a poor response rate to the questionnaire and the councils that did respond only using a few, generally relatively low value applications. In discussions during the workshops, these smaller councils were more likely to cite problems of lack of resources and difficulty in finding suitable sites for storing and processing arisings than the County Councils. Clearly there is a need to target these smaller Local Authorities and address the problems that they face as well as encouraging the County Councils to continue developing their use of RSA.

30 Promotional Campaign to Local Authorities – Recycled Roads Figure 10. Applications of RSA used by Local Authorities in England from responses to delegate questionnaire

31 Promotional Campaign to Local Authorities – Recycled Roads Workshop 2 Workshop 2 focused on procurement options and presented three case studies with 3 questions asked: is this good practice?, if not what would you recommend?, and can you use this within your environment, if not, why not?. The first case study looked at a partnering approach, whereby recycling is driven as a quality issue and the contractor is incentivised as any profit is put back into the highways providing opportunities for more maintenance work to be undertaken. General feedback was that partnering was seen as the best way to encourage innovation and recycling and that the pain/gain element encourages involvement. For this system to work it would require a good working relationship between the client and contractor based on trust and open book accounting. Encouragingly the majority of Local Authorities believed this system could work in their environment, with a number already doing so e.g. Norfolk County Council, York City Council, Dorset County Council and Hampshire County Council.

Case study 2 focused on the use of Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) within a contract related to resource efficiency and recycling. The majority agreed that the use of KPI’s is good practice as long as they are relevant and meaningful and that it is important to link them to incentives. The majority preferred fewer KPI’s which should be linked to local requirements and be specific to the project.

Case study 3 analysed a tender evaluation based on a cost/quality model (60:40). Feedback suggested that more weighting should be given to quality and there was a requirement to monitor the performance during the contract, this performance could then be used as a basis to score the next project/contract. A pre-qualification questionnaire and/or a two stage tendering process focusing on quality issues including sustainability are being used by a number of Local Authorities.

Feedback form from the events A feedback form was distributed at the events and the content and quality of each presentation and workshop was recorded from a scale of 1 to 5. (1 being poor and 5 being excellent). In total, 352 feedback forms were received, representing 74% of actual delegates. The first two questions addressed the issues of did the day meet your needs and expectations and were you motivated to implement sustainable construction in your projects by what you heard, which scored an average of 4.39 and 4.29 respectively.

The scores varied between 3.4 and 4.1 for the speakers, Appendix H, has a summary of the feedback from all workshops. The best scoring presentations belonged to Steve Biczysko, ‘Making Recycling Work in the Local Authority Environment’ and the final summary. The lowest scoring was ‘The Use of Composting in Landscaping Works’, this is not surprising as the focus of the workshop was on RSA. The workshops scored slightly lower than the presentations. Overall, the scores were very consistent over the ten events for the regular speakers and workshops. From these results, the project team have delivered a consistent, high quality event that has successfully engaged the audience.

The feedback form asked for any suggestions and general comments and the majority of responses believed the event was very good, worthwhile and provided them with enough information and motivation to take the recycling agenda forward. Specific comments included having more information during the events on the following topics:

• Contractor/industrial experience • Specific examples of reuse • Financial information including cost/benefits • Minor maintenance • Term contracts

32 Promotional Campaign to Local Authorities – Recycled Roads • Specific products • KPIs • WRAP’s aims and objectives

Questions were raised over the relevance of composting to urban Local Authorities, and the amount of material (too much) and time given to the workshops (too little), although most delegates enjoyed the workshop sessions and the opportunities to learn and network with a variety of delegates.

Suggestions includes having a Q&A section on the AggRegain website, extracts from the AggRegain modules/reports made available in the packs, regular updates, to encourage Directors, Assistant Directors, senior management, more planners and designers to attend, and the possibility of a WRAP award, e.g. considerate contractors scheme to be extended/adapted to include a ‘sustainable contract’ by WRAP.

Delegates were also asked to suggest further topics that would be useful if the programme was to be run again. Popular topics included:

• HAUC specification and recycling • Licensing aspects and legal requirements of waste management/storage of planings, cold mix batching etc • Industrial experience (contractors and suppliers) and case studies • Information on recycled materials availability in the local area and their application • Use of RSA in surface courses/dressings • Opportunities for use of other recycled materials e.g. plastics, glass • Street furniture, highway drainage, ironwork • Environmental benefits of recycling (including energy usage)

Other topics included stabilisation (foundations, car parks etc), recycling of street lights, use of recycled materials for developers, kerbs and material handling, gully waste, small scale recycling, advantages and disadvantages of different materials including durability and performance monitoring, top soil and sub soil recycling, learning from failures (if any), total sustainability, EU standards and technical details.

A number of delegates would like more regional/local workshops and a follow up to these events. This included design workshops utilising available technical information for a range of recycled products.

Feedback on marketing campaign The feedback questionnaire asked delegates how they heard about the events, and out of 216 replies, the largest percentage at 28% (60 delegates) heard about it from a colleague or a line manager, although it is unclear how they originally heard about it. A further 6% were informed by their training departments. Emailing the flyer to the target audience attracted 19% of the delegates, direct mailing 15% and the Surveyor 8%. The remaining marketing activities such as advertising through networks, websites, magazines and WRAP accounted for the remaining 32%. Therefore in summary a combination of direct marketing activities (email and mail shots) followed by indirect activities (use of existing networks, websites/magazines) was the most effective in attracting the target audience. Results are summarised in Figure 11 and Table 11.

34 Promotional Campaign to Local Authorities – Recycled Roads 5 Conclusions and recommendations

The Recycled Road events proved an effective mechanism for encouraging Local Authorities to consider recycling for their highways maintenance activities. The Recycled Road events have been very well received especially by Local Authorities. Delegates were very much encouraged to promote recycling where practicable. The programme and content of the events scored highly and the majority of feedback was positive.

In order for WRAP to meet their targets and to keep the brand of the ‘Recycled Roads’ alive a number of recommendations have been made and are listed below. Obviously the follow up depends on the allocation of WRAP’s resources, however it is important to note that a readymade ‘Recycled Roads’ community is already in existence and some actions would be at minimal cost.

The WRAP recycling targets require continued engagement with the Local Authority community, and a forward programme of similarly styled events would ensure maintained momentum and enhanced uptake. These Recycled Road events illustrated that ‘Anything Is Possible’, a series of Recycled Road events in 2006 could be sub-titled `Making It Happen`. The pattern of lecture/presentation and workshops should be maintained but the syndicate workshop sessions this time could focus upon role play sessions from three perspectives to elaborate/identify and create the `tools` to make recycling and reuse happen at an enhanced level of activity. These syndicate exercises could be structured from the perspectives of (i) a Local Authority Councillor, (ii) a Head of Service, and (iii) a practicing Engineer and could include such aspects as a `Sustainability Action Plan for Highway Maintenance`, etc.

A series of follow on Recycled Road events in 2007 could be subtitled `Engineering the Solution` and again the same Recycled Road events pattern retained. On this occasion however the syndicate exercises could be structured to yield engineered designs and environmental impact considerations. There are a whole range of prospective applications here including, unbound mixtures, visco-elastic bound mixtures (emulsions, foam, warm, etc) and hydraulic bound mixtures (cement, lime, slag, flyash etc) but the focus would be the practical application of `Securing the Future` for highway maintenance and in particular those aspects relating to climate change, energy efficiency and protection of natural resources as a key part of the sustainable development of highways.

Other recommendations include:

• Regular newsletter based on updates from the AggRegain website, but branded as Recycled Roads. The first newsletter could include extracts from the Executive Summary and this report. • Use email alerts to interested parties when specific topics relating to roads and highways maintenance have been added to the AggRegain website. • Use part of the AggRegain website as a question and answer section with an interactive forum/discussion area. • Undertake similar events in Wales and Scotland, altering the context to reflect their regional circumstances. • Understand and analyse the Local Authorities that currently procure highways maintenance contracts. • Use a Local Authorities listing to carry out short email questionnaires and telephone surveys every 6 months under the Recycled Roads banner to gather up-to-date information in relation to WRAP’s progress towards their targets.

35 Promotional Campaign to Local Authorities – Recycled Roads • Link with established groups such as CSS, IHT and TAG to promote WRAP and Recycled Roads. • Undertake at least another 2 Recycled Road events in the autumn, for those on the waiting list and dependant upon numbers target Local Authorities that did not attend the first series. • Focus part of the Recycled Road campaign on difficulties preventing smaller Local Authorities using more RSA. • Target Local Authorities to events that have not attended the Recycled Road events. • Contact all Local Authority delegates to ask if they have changed or our currently altering their practices to favour recycling as a result of these workshops, and what training/issues they would like for further workshops • Dependant upon Local Authority requirements hold specific events and/or provide guidance on issues such as the HAUC specification, use of RSA in the surface courses/dressings, local recycled materials availability and the environmental benefits of recycling.
