Most non-hazardous waste is managed by the Head of Security/Campus Services of E&FM whilst hazardous waste is managed by the Health and Safety Officer. Both hazardous and non-hazardous waste streams have some materials that can and cannot be recycled and it should be the aim of PU to recycle as much as possible. All waste streams should follow the WRAP waste hierarchy. Previously the waste hierarchy was simply the 3 R’s – Reduce, Re-use and Recycle but wrap guidelines have expanded this somewhat. Prevention – This can come in many different forms from increasing the life span of products or avoidance i.e. buying fewer items, selling and buying used items that are no longer required but still usable. Preparing for re-use – Through checking, cleaning or repairing items or subcomponents of items so that they can be re-used without any further processing. E.g. wood waste could be offered to faculty of arts for students to use in their projects Recycling – Reprocessing of items, products, materials or substances. Other recovery – Energy recovery techniques such as combustion, anaerobic digestion, gasification or pyrolysis. E.g. PU is looking into the feasibility of sending biodegradable waste to a local anaerobic digestion plant. Disposal – Waste that cannot be re-used or recycled should be disposed of in the correct manor. If this disposal is contracted then the company used should have the correct legal requirements and paperwork. Weights of all waste collected should also be kept and recorded and is a legislative requirement.
