CPD
Managing water use and liquid waste during construction for efficiency and sustainability
$25.00
Description
This CPD introduces construction professionals to the environmental risks posed by liquid waste generated during routine on-site activities such as tool washout from finishing trades using water based and masonry based applied finishes (e.g. paint, plaster, render and tile). Andrew Crimston, CEO at Washbox Global, explores the often-overlooked impact of liquid waste discharge on wastewater networks and surrounding ecosystems. Washbox is a proud member of the United Nations Ocean Decade network, demonstrating a commitment to global ocean health and sustainability.
The session outlines current regulatory requirements and best-practice methods for mitigating pollution, including practical approaches like closed-loop wash stations such as Washbox Technology. Participants will gain insight into liquid waste compliance, pollution prevention, and the role of sustainable site behaviour in meeting environmental obligations and site performance outcomes.
This learning activity can contribute to your annual CPD return and should be logged accordingly.
