I am running several construction sites in Poland simultaneously, how do I develop a uniform, safe construction waste management system following changes in the law?
Client
Commercial real estate developer with a portfolio of active construction sites
The situation
Changes to Polish waste law have significantly tightened requirements for construction waste management, including the rules for handling waste on construction sites, record-keeping obligations and the rules for transferring waste to authorised entities. For developers running several investments simultaneously in different locations, this means applying uniform, up-to-date procedures across all construction sites, because inconsistency or outdated procedures generates the risk of administrative and criminal liability.
Our role
We developed a comprehensive construction waste management scenario tailored to the specifics of the client’s operations, covering offices, hotels, shopping centres and residential buildings across various locations in Poland. The scenario takes account of current waste law requirements, record-keeping and reporting rules, conditions for transferring waste to external parties, and procedures for handling inspections by environmental authorities. In the next stage, we are implementing the developed procedures in the client’s operational practice.
The result
This matter is an example of environmental advisory for the real estate sector, which is often underestimated in terms of environmental risks: construction generates significant waste streams, and legal requirements are becoming ever more stringent. Developers who proactively address these matters avoid later problems with inspection authorities.
Are you running construction sites in Poland and want certainty that your waste management procedures comply with current regulations? We can help.
Environmental protection
Environmental regulations affect not only compliance, but what matters most in business: the pace of investment, operating costs, and security. In this area, knowing what the law says is not enough. You also need to know how to translate it into concrete actions and sound decisions.
