Compliance
Our Recycled Aggregates are produced in accordance with the Guidelines laid down by WRAP – The Waste Recycling Action Programme. A copy of our WRAP Protocol Method Statement is available for inspection at our offices on request.
This quote from the WRAP website neatly summarises the benefits of the Quality Protocol to producers and purchasers:
The purpose of a Quality Protocol is to provide a uniform control process for producers, from which they can reasonably state and demonstrate that their product has been fully recovered and is no longer a waste. It also provides purchasers with a quality-managed product to common standards, which increases confidence in performance. Also, the framework created by the Protocol provides a clear audit trail for those responsible for ensuring compliance with Waste Management Legislation.
An Environment Agency (EA) position statement dated 11th September 2008 entitled: “Definition of Waste: Development of Industry Code of Practice” states:
“Aggregates from recovered inert waste produced in accordance with the WRAP - Quality Protocol for the production of aggregates from inert waste, are not likely to be waste.”
Therefore a producer working to and complying with the requirements of the QP for the production of aggregates from inert waste, can be confident of compliance with Waste Management Legislation. The purchaser can be confident of receiving quality aggregates meeting both the EA end of waste requirements and the specific requirements of one or more of the European Standards for Aggregates. Ultimately the customer and/or end user can be confident that the final product utilising recycled aggregates is fit for purpose and compliant with appropriate standards and legislation.
