The Sustainability team have created the latest Environmental Briefings about waste changes and updates relevant to our sites and offices.

The first briefing highlights legislative changes to waste segregation, specifically disposal of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) often present in foam seating and soft furnishings. As our main waste disposal contractor, Biffa should be contacted for additional advice or if furniture or cushion pads containing POPs need to be disposed of.

The POPs poster at the end of this document and in the download section of the UK News website:  www.cemexuknews.co.uk/downloads contains additional information on the changes.

The second briefing contains the Biffa escalation details which should be followed if you need to contact Biffa regarding site general, recycling or tanker waste disposal services. Our new Biffa Account Manager’s contact details are also included.

Many sites capture evidence of communication of environmental briefings for the purposes of showing continued training and awareness as part of the Cemex EMS. The Communication Form can be used for this purpose.

If you have any questions please contact a member of the Sustainability team.

Please share on your workplace notice boards.
