Publicly Available Specification (PAS) 402 provides a specification for performance reporting that can be adopted by waste resource management organizations. It provides the framework for the demonstration of performance against key areas.
The waste industry is changing. It is no longer focused on filling holes in the ground. The industry has recognized the potential opportunities to be gained from recovering the resource in waste. In fact, waste is beginning to be considered a resource in its own right.
Waste resource management is the collection, transport, recovery, treatment and disposal of waste, including the supervision of such operations and aftercare of disposal sites.
PAS 402 requires a waste resource management organization to report:
a) How it conducts specific waste resource management activities
b) The landfill diversion and material recovery rates it achieves.
PAS 402 applies to a waste resource management organization that processes industrial, commercial or household waste at a transfer station, treatment facility or disposal site. It does not apply to a waste resource management organization that operates solely as a waste carrier or waste broker.
