The consultation process on the draft regulations for Site Waste Management Plans is well underway, and we’re delighted that at CEW our waste team has launched a series of workshops to enable the industry to fully participate.

The aim behind SWMP is for everyone involved in construction and demolition – from clients, to developers, to contractors – to build in plans for reducing waste and sustainably managing waste that does arise.

The 12-week consultation process for SWMP, announced by the Minister for Environment and Sustainable Development in Wales, John Griffiths AM, runs until April 25 and between now and then there is opportunity for stakeholders to view the proposals.

The workshops will be on the following dates:

Cardiff – March 5 (morning & afternoon)
Cardiff – March 7 (evening)

Llandudno – March 13 (evening)
Llandudno – March 14 (morning)

Wrexham – March 20 (evening)
Wrexham – March 21 (morning)

To register to attend one of the workshops please email CEWales. The consultation documents can also be accessed via the Welsh Government website.

Our support for SWMP is clear; it is key to ensuring Wales’ goals for reducing waste generated in the building process are met and will make waste awareness top of the agenda for everyone involved in construction.
