RPS 212 – Voluntary Litter Collection and Waste Management
Regulatory Position Statements (RPS) are issued by the Environment Agency to cover aspects of waste and environmental management not explicitly covered by existing legislation.
A Green Travel Plan is required where environmental considerations are necessary for the Considerate Constructors Scheme, or other environmental standards, such as BREEAM.
The Travel Plan records and monitors travel to and from site by all personnel and visitors for all reasons and the data are used in the site carbon footprint calculations.
It is also a means of promoting car-sharing or carpooling and use of public transport by site personnel, thus demonstrating a reduction in the site’s carbon footprint.
Green Travel Plans are required for compliance with BREEAM Tra 05 Travel Plan standard. They are also required for compliance with BREEAM Man 03 Construction Site Impacts Standard. This covers the monitoring, recording and reporting of energy, water and transport consumption data.
Other plans which are required for BREEAM Man 03 include Water Management Plans, Energy Management Plans, Carbon Monitoring Procedures, Responsible Sourcing of Site Timber, Environmental Management Systems and Traffic Management Plans. The latter are also required for BREEAM Tra 05.
WPSCC can either advise and support the implementation of a Green Travel Plan, or provide a total management function.
