  • GTOG Good Practices
    GOOD PRACTICES ON THE END-OF-LIFE OF GYPSUM PRODUCTS Version 00_19 October 2015 This document provides an overview of the identified practices contributing to an efficient closed-loop supply chain. DEC1. Implement an effective pre-deconstruction audit for gypsum-based systems An essential step for both deconstruction planning and for the quality assurance of the materials is the pre-deconstruction audit, which reduces the uncertainty on what systems will be found when dismantling [1], identifying the range of materials and products expected to be generated from the deconstruction of the existing buildings and structures. Such waste prediction will set the basis for the development of a sound Site Waste Management Plan (SWMP), which in turn, will result in maximising the reduction, reuse, recycling and recovery options of materials, and the potential cost savings associated. An accurate (i.e. minimum deviation between waste foreseen and generated) pre-deconstruction audit (i.e. desk study, site visit, quality assessment of materials, etc.) should cover at least the location, amount, type and cost of gypsum waste (GW) to be generated (this enables the identification of recyclable GW), as well as the expected recycling targets. The Singapore standard SS 557:2010 [2] is an example of good practice in this field. It takes into account issues which affect the environment including a set of procedures to help demolition contractors to maximize recovery of waste materials, known as Demolition Protocol [3]. Another example is the Site Methodology to Audit Reduced Target Waste (SMARTWasteTM), a tool, developed by the Building Research Establishments (BRE), which helps to perform pre-demolition audits by which potential wastes arising can be benchmarked and categorized by source, type, amount, cause and cost [4].

  • NFU Response
    Page 1 NFU Response To: Environment Agency Date: 20th January 2020 resourcesframeworks@environment Ref: Waste to Land QP Comments agency.gov.uk Circulation: Contact: Philippa Arnold Tel: 02476 858 856 Email: [email protected] Waste Quality Protocols Review – Anaerobic Digestion Quality Protocol, Compost Quality Protocol, Poultry Litter Ash Quality Protocol - Call for evidence The NFU represents 55,000 members in England and Wales, involved in 46,000 farming businesses. In addition, we have 55,000 countryside members with an interest in farming and the countryside. We welcome the opportunity to respond to this Environment Agency call for evidence. Our interest in the call for evidence is as follows:- - Many of our members receive compost, digestate and poultry litter ash as landspreading materials. Some NFU members are anaerobic digestion (AD) plant operators and composters, and some poultry producers use poultry litter in biomass boilers to create renewable energy. The Quality Protocols (QPs) are important from both the plant operator’s perspective and the user of the resulting material. - QPs are valuable in providing assurance and clarity to farmers that the materials being spread to land are of good agronomic benefit, high quality and safe for the environment. - The NFU believe that QP’s are widely recognised frameworks which work well to produce high quality products from waste materials, without being burdensome. They promote greater recovery and recycling, so any reversion would be a retrograde step and perverse to Defra’s waste objectives. - Any adverse changes or removal of the QPs must not stifle the future growth of the on-farm AD sector, compost sector and markets for poultry litter ash.

  • The Regulation of Materials Under Consideration for an End of Waste Quality Protocol
    This publication was withdrawn on 14 July 2021 We are no longer considering any new waste quality protocols, therefore this RPS can no longer be used. Regulatory position statement 017 The regulation of materials under consideration for an end of waste Quality Protocol Background This position statement sets out advice for our staff and customers on how we regulate wastes whilst they are under consideration for an end of waste Quality Protocol. If a Quality Protocol is developed, this statement will also cover our regulatory position whilst the draft Quality Protocol is considered by the European Commission1. A Quality Protocol identifies the point at which waste, having been fully recovered, may be regarded as a non-waste product that can be used in specified markets, without the need for waste management controls. Quality Protocols have been produced for a range of materials. Further information can be found on GOV.UK. Whilst the development of a Quality Protocol is being considered our position is that the materials covered by this document remain waste until they have been put to their final use in a recovery operation that achieves complete recovery of the waste. However, we consider it appropriate to allow the end-use of materials being considered for a QP to take place under a regulatory position statement rather than a permit because if a Quality Protocol is developed the final use of the material, subject to any conditions and limitations, will not be subject to regulatory control as a waste. This regulatory position statement relates to the final use of waste only.

We are a community group who have serious concerns over the proposals to build and operate a combined EfW CHP incinerator in Devonport, Plymouth. We wish to make both representations and requests for detailed clarification regarding concerns the public have in relation to environmental issues relating to this permit request. This letter of representation relates specifically to issues of due process surrounding the classification and processing of Incinerator Bottom Ash (referred to as IBA, bottom ash, or slag ash). Research on a local issue has unearthed what could be described as one of the greatest environmental policy conundrums currently existing, and demonstrates implications for national policy issues within the context of European legislation. A matter that is of serious and wide enough national interest that it is an appropriate concern of board level accountability. We believe that there is a legal basis to require very clear and public clarification of these issues before any permit at Devonport can be issued.

  • Biomethane from Waste
    Quality Protocol Biomethane from waste End of waste criteria for the production and use of biomethane from landfill gas and anaerobic digestion (AD) biogases. This Quality Protocol was developed by the Environment Agency and WRAP (Waste & Resources Action Programme) in consultation with Defra, industry and other regulatory stakeholders. The Quality Protocol is applicable in England and Wales. It sets out the end of waste criteria for the production and use of biomethane arising from the degradation of organic wastes in a landfill site or anaerobic digestion plant, for injection into the gas grid or use in an appliance suitably designed and operated for natural gas. The Quality Protocol was developed under the European Pathway to Zero Waste partnership project, with the contribution of the LIFE financial instrument of the European Community (Project ref LIFE08 ENV/UK/000208). Contents 1. Introduction 02 2. Producing biomethane 06 3. Providing evidence of compliance with the Quality Protocol 08 4. Uses of Quality Protocol compliant biomethane 09 Appendix A 10 Definitions Appendix B 12 Standards and specifications Appendix C 13 Statement of Conformity Biomethane 01 Foreword Background Uncertainty over the point at which waste has been fully recovered and ceases to be waste within the meaning of Article 3(1) of the EU Waste Framework Directive (WFD) (2008/98/EC) has inhibited the development and marketing of materials produced from waste which could otherwise be used beneficially without damaging human health and the environment. In some cases, this uncertainity has also inhibited the recovery and recycling of waste and its diversion from landfill. Interpretation of legislation is ultimately a matter for the courts and there is now a substantial body of case law on the interpretation of the definition of waste.

Jiangsu Welle Environmental Co,.Ltd, Changzhou, 213125, China Abstract More than 30 million tons of kitchen wastes (KW) are produced in China every year. Approximately 80% of the collected KW has been directly utilized as feedstuff in pig farms in China, which is facing strict restrictions by China's Ministry of Agriculture due to concerns of foot and mouth disease, and raw materials for illegal extraction of hogwash oil, which is unsanitary and can cause serious illness. In addition, the universal concern on environmental protection, resource utilization and food safety has brought increasing research on KW processing technology. According to the policy perspective on promoting the recycling application and resource saving of KW, developing resource-saving and environment-friendly society as well as circular economy and protecting the ecological environment in both China (FAGAIHUANZI [2010] No. 1020) and other countries, it is required especially in China that the construction of pilot projects should be conducted overall planning and combinational optimization to enhance resource-oriented utilization and harmless treatment of three phases in KW, including oil, solid and liquid phase (FAGAIHUANZI [2010] No.
