What developments have you made in your responsible plastic management journey?
GRAHAM has been a Member of the Responsible Plastic Management Program since the very beginning of the Program. The organisation has made great progress since becoming a member. This progress includes:
– Key staff members of staff becoming Certified Plastic Literate Professionals through completion of Plastic Literacy Training
– Participation Plastic Coaching webinars for staff members
– Plastic Indexing exercise and coaching
Over the past 5 years GRAHAM have been reviewing the use of single use plastics within construction, identifying hot spots and opportunities to improve in collaboration with our supply chain.
This year, with support and guidance from the RPM, we undertook a Plastic Indexing exercise, a detailed analysis of the types, source and use of plastic on site. We now have a projected baseline figure for single use plastics encountered on typical GRAHAM sites and the starting point to establish a realistic reduction target and gauge progress.
Setting a baseline is crucial step in creating a structured and effective approach to reducing single use plastics, ensuring that efforts are data driven and impactful.
