WRAP are seeking to overcome the technical and commercial barriers which limit the use of post-consumer recycled plastics and other priority materials in products produced in Wales, beyond the currently accepted practices and that result in a lack of differentiated market for recycled polymers. To assist with this they are seeking to appoint Contractor(s) to carry out demonstration trials with the objective of developing and demonstrating solutions for overcoming real or perceived barriers to increasing recycled content by manufacturers in Wales.

WRAP, working on behalf of the Northern Ireland Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) wishes to commission a commercial and industrial (C&I) waste survey for waste arising in the 2024 calendar year. The most recent survey estimates for Northern Ireland are based on modelling conducted using data from the England 2009 commercial and industrial waste survey. The main aims of the project are to determine how much waste from C&I businesses in Northern Ireland was produced by waste type and sector and how that waste was managed during the 2024 calendar year. The successful tenderer will be contracted to commence work in Q1 of the 2025/26 calendar year, with a proposed project delivery time frame of 18 months from inception and anticipated value of £400,000.

The construction sector is a crucial industry for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the long term. One-third of material consumption and 26% of carbon dioxide emissions come from this sector globally. The recent Circularity Gap Report: Northern Ireland highlighted agriculture and construction as Northern Ireland's most material- and emission-intensive sectors. Infrastructure, housing, and repair and maintenance are still the construction sector's most important activities in both Northern Ireland and the UK. DAERA wish to consider the inclusion of the construction, demolition and excavation waste sector as a contributor to meeting the above referenced 70% recycling target. Accurately quantifying C&D waste is very challenging due to limitations on reporting, the sector generating C&D waste being diverse and tonnages frequently being estimated rather than weighed. The objectives of this work are to: Produce reliable data estimates of the quantities, fates and composition of CDE Waste in Northern Ireland in 2023/24. This data is required to: Inform progress towards the statutory EU target Inform progress towards the Climate Change Act target. Assist with the development of appropriate policy initiatives / interventions, if and where required, to boost waste prevention, reuse, and increase recycling of these waste streams in line with circular economy ambitions. The study will include an element of primary data gathering through surveys, as well as use of existing information. Specifically, this study should: Generate reliable estimates of the amount of CDE waste arising in Northern Ireland in 2023/24, including waste dealt with on the CDE sites, waste sent off site for management at a licensed or exempt sites, waste sent for beneficial purposes to landfill, and estimation of waste disposed of illegally by SOC and EWC codes; Generate reliable estimates of the amount of CDE waste managed in Northern Ireland in 2023/24, including waste managed both on the site of arising and off site; Provide a breakdown of both waste arising and waste treated by waste type (SOC and EWC codes); Provide a breakdown of the amounts and proportion of material reused, recycled, recovered or sent to landfill; Make a quantified assessment of the carbon impacts of the waste and the costs to Northern Ireland; and Make a quantified assessment of the potential for further reduction, reuse and recycling of the various waste streams.
