Development of the Bedford Green Technology and Innovation Park underway

Development of the Bedford Green Technology and Innovation Park underway and is set to become a real community asset for Bedford. Our Senior Consultant, Graeme, has been leading the way on the multi-million development project.

The former landfill site is set to become home to more than 1,800 solar panels. These panels will generate and supply onsite buildings and local businesses with low carbon and clean energy.

With preliminary works now underway Bedford Green Technology and Innovation Park is due to be completed by early 2022.

The EA has put out a call for evidence concerning the quality protocol for Tyre-derived rubber materials

The EA has put out a call for evidence concerning the quality protocol for Tyre-derived rubber materials. This protocol is used by the industry to determine at what point the Tyre-derived material is not classified as waste.

The regulator would like to hear the industry’s views on whether this quality protocol meets their needs. They would also like to know if you believe there is a market for Tyre-derived rubber materials and whether the PAS 107:2007 specification is appropriate.

Get in contact with the EA resources frameworks team by the 18th of June to respond.

The consultation proposes significant changes to SR2008 No:24: 75Kte clinical waste and healthcare waste transfer station permit. Changes include:

– a reduction in the total annual waste storage from 75,000 tonnes per year to just 5,000. Plus, the maximum quantity of haz and non-haz waste to be stored at any one time will be limited to 10 and 20 tonnes respectively

– reduced storage times for offensive, infectious, anatomical and other healthcare wastes on-site

Plus, the EA intends to remove existing standard rules permits SR2008 No.25 and SR2013 No.1 #healthcare #wastemanagement #environment
