| Objectives | It is government policy to encourage the use of alternatives instead of quarrying primary aggregate, and there is a related government sustainable development indicator. Construction and Demolition Waste (C&DW) is the main alternative source and, therefore, ODPM requires reliable information on the use of C&DW as aggregate. To date, reasonably reliable national information has been collected, although these data are subject to much statistical uncertainty, while information at t he increasingly important regional level is unreliable. Previous surveys were carried out by the Environment Agency with support from DETR for 1999 (Environment Agency, Construction and Demolition Survey, R&D Technical Report P402, May 2001). A similar survey for ODPM was carried out for 2001 (ODPM, Survey of Arisings and Use of Construction and Demolition Waste in England and Wales in 2001, October 2002). | |
| Abstract | Summary of results: Three related surveys were undertaken to establish estimates for arisings and use of construction, demolition and excavation waste in England for 2003. These focussed on licensed crushers, licensed landfills, and sites exempted under sections 9 and 19 of the waste licensing regulations. Results were assembled by Region. The principal national findings were that: • total arisings of these wastes were about 90 million tonnes (mt); • production of recycledaggregate had risen since 2001 from 36mt to nearly 40mt; • nearly 6mt of soil was recycled in 2003; and • little evidence was found of waste that could be recycled being disposed of in landfills | |
