Materials Management
Materials Management in accordance with CL:AIRE DoWCoP allows suitable soils and materials to be reused on site without being classified as waste, provided specific regulatory requirements are met. A robust Materials Management Plan (MMP) is essential to demonstrate compliance and secure regulatory confidence.
We support clients throughout the process, from initial feasibility and MMP preparation through to implementation and verification, ensuring materials are managed efficiently and in line with DoWCoP principles.

We work closely with clients, contractors and regulators to ensure materials are reused safely, compliantly and efficiently.
Why Materials Management (CL:AIRE DoWCoP) is Essential
Effective materials management can significantly reduce disposal costs, vehicle movements and environmental impact while supporting sustainable development. Compliance with CL:AIRE DoWCoP provides a recognised framework for lawful material reuse and regulatory assurance.
By implementing a robust MMP, projects can achieve environmental, commercial and programme benefits while maintaining full regulatory compliance.
