The University will ensure that as little waste as possible is sent to landfill, using all good practice and recycling options available. All construction projects over £250k will have a full site waste management plan, in addition to environmental sustainability being considered at all stages. The statistics gathered through the Carbon Management Plan will be able to show direct impacts, in terms of carbon emissions, due to all waste generated at the University. From this, it will be possible to measure and see change as educational and structural projects are rolled out. In terms of waste reduced and reused, procurement
