Glossary Polluter Pays Principle Planning Policy Guidance Notes (PPGs) Plastic Pollution Processing Pyrolysis Recovery Recyclable Recycling Reduction Re-use Salvage Soil Conditioner Principle by which one who produces pollution (including waste) is made responsible for it. Government Policy Statements on a variety of planning issues, including waste planning issues, to be taken as material considerations, where relevant, in deciding planning applications. Man-made materials composed of large molecules called “polymers” containing primarily carbon and hydrogen with lesser amounts of oxygen and nitrogen. Plastic is a difficult material to recycle as there are many different types of plastic (often indicated by a number or letters such as PP, PET or PVC). The variation in plastic means that different reprocessing techniques are required. The different types of plastic therefore need to be collected separately, or sorted after collection, as reprocessors will specify which type of plastic they will accept. Contamination of air, soil or water with harmful substances. The treatment or upgrading of recyclable, compostable or otherwise recoverable materials at a Materials Reclamation Facility (MRF) or other facility prior to reprocessing. Upgrading operations include sorting, compacting, shredding, bulking. Breakdown by heat; thermal treatment of waste to recover energy—the waste is heated to between 400 and 800 degrees C, in the absence of oxygen, and a mixture of gas, solid and liquid fuel is produced. Obtaining value from waste through re-use; recycling; composting; other means of material recovery (such as anaerobic digestion); or energy recovery (combustion with direct or indirect use of the energy produced, manufacture of refuse derived fuel, gasification, pyrolysis and other technologies). A material or product that has the potential to be recycled. The act of processing used or abandoned materials for use in creating new products. Most materials such as paper, glass, cardboard, plastics and scrap metals can be recycled. Special wastes such as solvents can also be recycled by specialist companies or by in-house equipment. Achieving as much waste reduction as possible is a priority action. Reduction can be accomplished within a manufacturing process involving the review of production processes to optimise utilisation of raw (and secondary) materials and re-circulation processes. It can be cost effective, both in terms of lower disposal costs, reduced demand for raw materials and reduced energy use. It can be carried out by householders through actions such as home composting, re-using products and buying goods with reduced packaging. Involves products designed to be used a number of times in the same form, such as glass milk bottles or returnable plastic crates. In addition, many supermarkets now have carrier bags which you can use over and over again, and some businesses deliver goods in re-usable plastic crates. The processes contribute to sustainable development and can save raw materials, energy and transport costs. The act of obtaining a secondary material through collection, sorting, etc. A product that improves the condition of the soil.

Glossary Special Waste Sustainable Sustainable Development Sustainable Waste Management Thermal Treatment Vermiculture Virgin Material Volume Reduction Waste Waste Collection Authority Waste Disposal Waste Disposal Authority Waste Hierarchy (Minimisation) WISARD (Waste Integrated Systems Assessment for Recovery and Disposal) Waste which, because of the risks posed to human health and the environment (is dangerous to life, has a combustion flashpoint of 21°C or less, or is a medical product), is subject to additional controls under the Special Waste Regulations 1996. A way of life, behaviour or practice that can be maintained indefinitely, i.e. without exhausting finite resources. Development which is sustainable is that which can meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Using material resources efficiently, to cut down on the amount of waste we produce, and where waste is generated, dealing with it in a way that actively contributes to the economic, social and environmental goals of sustainable development. Treatment by heat—in terms of waste, this includes incineration, pyrolysis and gasification. This is the term for worm composting using a wormery. Any material which is natural and has not previously been used. Where possible we should avoid using virgin products and use a product which has recycled content such as glass aggregate or recycled content paper. Processing waste materials to decrease the amount of space the materials occupy. It is accomplished by mechanical, thermal or biological means. The strict legal definition of waste is extremely complex but it encompasses most unwanted material which has fallen out of the commercial cycle or chain of utility which the holder discards, or intends to/is required to discard. In fact, it has a highly negative impact on our view and commitment to re-use and recycle those products we may view as waste, many of which can in fact be re-used or recycled. A local authority charged with the collection of waste from households or private sectors. This is defined by the list of operations that constitute disposal (under Part III of Schedule 4 of the Waste Management Licensing Regulations). This includes landfill, land raising, incineration, permanent storage, etc. A local authority charged with providing disposal sites to which it directs the Waste Collection Authorities for the disposal of their controlled waste, and with providing civic amenity facilities. Suggests that the most effective environmental solution may often be to reduce the amount of waste generated—reduction. Where further reduction is not practicable, products and materials can sometimes be used again, either for the same or different purpose—re-use. Failing that, value should be recovered from the waste through recycling, composting or energy recovery from waste. Only if none of the above is appropriate should the waste be disposed. A tool developed by the Environment Agency (in England and Wales) to assist in assessing the Life Cycle. WASTE MANAGEMENT Best Practice Approach for English and Welsh Golf Clubs 45
