WASTE RECYCLING


EA approves WRA’s FPP Guide for wood recyclers


THE Wood Recyclers’ Association (WRA) has announced its Waste Wood Fire Prevention Plan Guide has been approved by the Environment Agency (EA) after nearly two years of development. The document, which is the fi rst sector- specifi c guide on Fire Prevention Plans (FPPs) to be produced, comes after years of discussions and debates over the potential negative impact the EA’s FPPv3 guidance could have on the sector. It outlines the diff erent fraction sizes of waste wood that may be stored and the diff erences in their storage requirements, as well as talking about seasonality challenges faced by the industry and how to explain these in an FPP.


Julia Turner, Executive Director of the WRA, said: “We are


extremely proud to be the fi rst trade body to launch a sector- specifi c guide for our members and hope this will mean many more wood recyclers and


reprocessors will now be able to gain approved FPPs in a timely manner.


“We would like to thank everyone at the EA and our sector partners for helping us to get to this point.”


 JULIA Turner, Executive Director of the WRA


Andy Hill, Chair of the WRA, said he was delighted wood recyclers fi nally had an EA approved guide which would help operators, both large and small to meet the measures outlined in the FPP Guidance, or to propose alternative measures if they need to move away from the standard guidance. The WRA guide will lead them through a


process and give them the best chance of getting approval for their FPP – a legal requirement for all sites storing combustible materials. Andy said: “For over a year now we have been working with the EA to develop this guide for our members. “More recently this culminated in collaborative working with fi re specialist Peter Buckley who helped to move things forward considerably.


“However, the background to this dates back much further than the past 12 months. We have been in discussion with the EA for over three years


about the content of the actual FPP guidance itself and how one-size-fi ts-all approach


would not work for our sector.


“The past 12 months has seen some remarkable breakthroughs and we now have a guide that can help wood recyclers make the FPP guidance work for our industry and the EA.” The WRA’s Waste Wood FPP Guide will be published and offi cially launched at the trade association’s winter members’ meeting in December.
