2. Waste reuse – re-use waste resources without further manufacturing 3. Waste recycling – recycle waste resources to make the same or different products 4. Energy recovery – recover waste resources, including the recovery of energy 5. Waste disposal – dispose of waste only if there is no viable alternative 4.2 Controls
Best practice control measures are to be identified within the aspect / impact register and this management plan. The controls implemented are to eliminate or reduce as far as practicable the risk levels associated with each waste stream and manage waste effectively. When evaluating the most efficient and effective control measures, it will be firstly taken into consideration the potential for elimination, re-use, or recycling of any waste and where any such opportunities are identified and diversion from the landfill is achieved, the volumes of materials will be measured and reported to allow for continuous improvement. Opportunities for landfill diversion will also be reviewed with the following in mind: – Putting in place infrastructure to allow these wastes to the segregated and recycled, and – Arranging collection of the materials by an authorised waste handling contractor. Where the opportunities are available, it is a minimum requirement that the following wastes should be either reused or recycled: – Gas. – Office paper. – Cardboard. – Glass. – Aluminium. – Fluorescent tubes. – Printer and toner cartridges. – Mobile telephones. – Batteries. – Recyclable plastics. – Green waste. – Copper. – Pallets, and – Steel. Volumes of each waste stream will be measured and reported for the Heritage Minerals business and managed at all project locations. 4.3 Storage and transportation Each waste stream will be segregated in clearly marked storage bins to prevent cross contamination and maximise the positive opportunities. Where recyclable materials are identified these Heritage Minerals operations will also ensure that relevant licenses are held for the storage, transport, and disposal of regulated wastes where such wastes have been identified. When handling hazardous waste, the following areas need to be taken into consideration: – Segregating scheduled wastes from other wastes and the receiving environment by providing sufficient storage infrastructure (e.g., tanks, bins, bunded areas). – Maintaining signage, and training personnel in the use of the infrastructure for the scheduled waste. – Securing waste to ensure that is does not become a source of pollution.
