Deliveries and collections of materials and equipment should be optimised to minimise journeys and reduce fuel use/emissions.
Vehicle journeys should be planned to ensure fuel use/emissions are minimised.
Where different vehicles can be used for a particular purpose, please choose the vehicle with the lowest consumption and emissions.
Power should be obtained from mains if possible. Where a generator is used it must be right sized for the load. Generators should use HVO fuel where possible. Hybrid battery generators should be considered as they can lead to a 50% reduction in fuel use.
Spill kits should be used when refuelling or transferring liquids. The location manager should be notified immediately if there are any spills.
Equipment should be switched off and unplugged when not in use.
Observe the no idling policy.
Circular Economy
Source materials and equipment which have the lowest environmental impact.
Place waste food, packaging and materials in the appropriate waste stream.
Waste outlets from washing machines should have filters to trap microplastics. Filters should be checked regularly and replaced when required.
Waste liquids must always be collected by licenced waste collectors. Consignment notes and NWCPO licence details must be provided to production.
Carbon Calculator
Assist the Sustainability Advisor to obtain environmental information from suppliers.
Facilitate the collection of data on energy use, fuel use, materials use, transport and waste collections for the carbon calculator.
