What are the 4 strategies for reducing waste?
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ranks source reduction, reuse, recycling, and waste to energy as the four preferred strategies for reducing waste.
______ is a “compilation and evaluation of the inputs and outputs and the potential environmental impacts
of a product system throughout its life cycle.
LCA / Life Cycle Assessment
______ approach is sometimes called “cradle to grave
LCA
Product value ($) = __ x __ x ___
Total product cost ($) x (%) product component by weight x (%) meeting
sustainable criteria
What type of materials are : mixed paper, corrugated cardboard, glass, plastics, and metals ?
Recyclable material
To reinforce recycling behaviors amongst future occupants, consider incorporating recycling program requirements into _____
tenant guidelines
Retail projects must identify the project’s top-five recyclable waste streams by conducting a _____
waste stream study.
The waste stream study must include, at a minimum, a ___ hour period.
24-hour
Waste streams comprise two major substreams:
waste disposed of via landfills or incinerators and waste diverted from disposal through recycling, reuse, or composting.
______ does not qualify as material diverted from disposal
Alternative daily cover (ADC)
_____ is not considered construction, demolition, or renovation waste that can contribute to waste diversion.
Land-clearing debris
For MR Prereq C & D waste management : Establish waste diversion goals for the project by identifying at least ___ materials (both structural and
nonstructural) targeted for diversion
Five
Source reduction strategies should be incorporated into the design of the project and outlined in the ___ plan.
CWM
____ may be considered diversion if reuse and recycling methods are not readily available in the project’s location; this must be included in the CWM plan.
Incineration
Diversion rate =
(Total waste diverted from landfill / Total waste produced by project) × 100
________ may be considered a viable diversion strategy if the project team follows European Commission Waste Framework Directive 2008/98/EC and European Commission Waste Incineration Directive 200/76/EC.
Waste-to-energy
The combustion of wood or “wood-derived fuel” is not considered ____
waste-to-energy
_________ material other than earthen material placed on the surface of the active face of a municipal solid waste landfill at the end of each operating day to control vectors, fires, odors, blowing litter, and scavenging.
alternative daily cover (ADC)
___________ is nonhazardous materials left over from construction and demolition. _____ excludes lead and asbestos.
clean waste
__________ building waste streams that are combined on the project site and hauled away for sorting into recyclable streams. Also known as single-stream recycling.
commingled waste
