WASTE RECYCLING
92% of waste recycled at new army premises
A MAJOR redevelopment project to provide new single living and working accommodation for soldiers is minimising waste during construction, thanks to an impressive 92% recycling rate of all waste materials.
Under the Army Basing Programme (ABP), around 130 new buildings are being delivered at garrisons across Salisbury Plain Training Area and at Aldershot, alongside numerous extensions, alterations, refurbishments and demolitions.
The programme is being delivered by Aspire Defence Capital Works (ADCW) on behalf of the Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO), under the 35-year Project Allenby/Connaught (PAC) contract.
“Sustainability is at the heart of the PAC contract and a key concern for the MOD,” explained David Keeble, Environmental Manager for ADCW. “Landfi ll is the last resort, and we segregate waste on garrisons using dedicated skips and containers.
“We have targets to recycle or recover more than 90% of all construction waste,
so we’re delighted to have exceeded that fi gure already this year.”
On some garrisons, waste materials are being reused within the construction programme itself. At Larkhill, demolition arisings are crushed and used as sub- base for new roads and car parks.
Where waste generation cannot be prevented, materials from ABP build sites are processed by M J Church, the principal waste management contractor for ADCW, responsible for management, segregation and removal of construction waste streams.
Wood is chipped for fuel supplies in the UK and Europe; scrap metal is sold on for recovery into new items; green waste is sent for composting, and cardboard is used to make recycled packaging. Demolition waste, plasterboard, UPVC, and polythene are also recycled and recovered.
Mark Duddy, ABP Programme Director, said: “Our responsibility to the environment within and surrounding the Defence estate is a priority.
