Success story
Story
NISP South West Region
Organised through Vishwa Wijedasa, 1744 tonnes of high
concentration chalk spoil destined for landfill.
The spoil was generated from a primary school extension
on a MOD site. LNI worked with NISP and the contractor,
Morgan Sindall to ensure all due diligence was in place.
LNI undertook the loading, transport and final recycling
of the material to our Material Treatment Facility.

What NISP Can Do For You
• Give you networking opportunities to pool resources
and ideas, increase efficiency and help save money.
• Help you to look at material coming off your site – Is it
waste? Can it be reused or recycled at less cost and
more sustainably?
• Help match your waste to others in need of that
resource through their national database and vice
versa.
• NISP is a national organisation so if you have sites
elsewhere in the country they can also help find
solutions there.

What Can An SME Do?
• If not already joined NISP, enrol with them and request a
site visit.
• Contact a local university/college speak to the tutor
responsible for management studies, MBA courses etc.
• Internally look for someone either experienced or more
importantly, enthusiastic about making a difference to
the management of waste coming off site.
• Look at not just what is coming off site but how it is
coming off site. Could a tankerable material be
dewatered?

Example
A recent solution LNI gave was to change how a paper
dust was coming off site, it was going to landfill in plastic
bags. However, if put in a suitable biodegradable bag it
could then be processed through a composting site –
simple idea but not always considered when trying just to
get the job done.

What Typical Information Will You Be Asked?
If LNI were asked to seek a solution for recycling a material
we would need the following information:
• What form is the waste; liquid, dry, dust, dewatered cake?
• What is happening to it at the moment; landfill,
composting?
• What is the typical volumes/frequency of deliveries?
• How would it come to site; enclosed skip, bags, IBC’s,
tanker?
• If currently segregated from general waste what EWC code
is it categorised under?
• Sometimes if the waste is not straightforward an analysis
will be asked for, this will cover heavy metals, plus a
number of other elements.
