CL:AIRE Material Management Plans
What is a CL:AIRE Material Management Plan?
A CL:AIRE Material Management Plan is a requirement of CL:AIRE’s Definition of Waste Code of Practice (DoW CoP). The CoP provides a clear, consistent and efficient process to enable the reuse of site won material.
You must demonstrate that you have certainty and suitability for use if you wish to adhere to the CL:AIRE code of practice.
A CL:AIRE Material Management Plan typically involves characterisation of the material used on your site, determining whether materials are waste or not and whether their use is associated with any risks.
Classifying material as non-waste (for example, after treatment) enables you to reuse it in your project, as well as transfer it between sites (depending on the nature of the material to be re-used). It may also mean that you do not need an Environmental Permit or Waste Exemption.
What are the benefits of a CL:AIRE Material Management Plan?
- Consistency and certainty regarding what is waste and what is not.
- Time savings due to the removal of the requirement to apply for permits and exemptions.
- Reduced costs for waste disposal, virgin/recycled material purchase and transportation.
- Enhance the sustainability of your operations by following the waste hierarchy and reducing natural resource consumption.
