Purpose of the EQual benefits mapping workshop To identify the benefits that will be delivered by EQual and gain consensus on which ones are the most important for delivering the strategic aims of the partnership organisations. Objectives To agree the strategic objectives that will be delivered by EQual To identify the benefits, outcomes and outputs To identify who will own and be responsible for realising these benefits To start information gathering regarding the benefits (risk, measures and dependencies)

Benefit mapping

Increased market confidence BENEFITS OUTCOMES Market development supported Regulatory clarity Better evidence OUTPUTS Comms Guidance for regulators Guidance for industry Increased market confidence - overview

BENEFITS Increased market confidence Improve business profitability Improved public perception of waste derived products Cost savings Better compliance with QPs OUTCOMES Market development supported Regulatory clarity Better evidence Comms Guidance for regulators Guidance for industry EQual information materials- awareness raising Suite of communications tools Presentations for dissenimation and general use of deliverables Workshops to raise awareness/ communicate outputs One page summaries on project objectives Communications and dissemination programme (of outputs) Guidance for using deliverables to regulators and industry Guidance on how to use end of waste decisions tool Clear/comprehens ive guidance and support tools Database of EOW Reg decisions Knowledge of other member states approach to end of waste Decision making tools Concise guidance for industry/producers/ users Regulatory position statement for IBA Broad understanding of the process accross business Clear standards OUTPUTS

Increased market confidence

Benefits Greater resource efficiency (highest importance) less material becoming waste marketability of materials more resource efficient industry greater focus on resource use- than problems of waste less extraction of virgin materials more use of waste-derived materials in products turn more production residues into products Reduced Environment Risk Greater Scientific evidence Good practices More standardized secondary materials/awareness of value Improve knowledge of performance of material Increased market confidence Improved public perception of waste derived products Cost Savings Better compliance with QPs More efficient and consistent regulation more effective use of staff resources for regulators/permitting teams etc save time/money for industry & regulator improved opinion of reglators consistent/transparent decision making less regulatory risk clear understanding of regulations Less waste disposal Reduce waste to landfill Less disposed materials No need for landfill Tax/bans Encourage sustainable Innovative approaches Development of new technology Usability, product innovation and development of new markets Increased business profitability cost benefits to industry pricing materials create more robust end markets less time/money determining waste materials improved competetive advantage for companies valuing waste as a resource improved competitive advantage for member states reduced burden for industry/regulatory on business innovations in waste treatment for re-use, stimulates business growth

Outcomes

Outputs

Forward look Continue to complete/refine the benefits profiles for the key areas, and establish who will own and be responsible for realising the benefits. Actions: confirm benefits measures confirm benefits targets collect baseline data benefits realisation plan Ensure benefits are linked/detailed in the Comms plan. EQual team to meet to look through each area, and gain input/feedback from partners etc

Reduced environment risk BENEFITS OUTPUTS Assessment tool QP compliance tool OUTCOMES Risk based regulation Market development supported Reduced Environmental risk - overview

Reduce environment risk Owner Directors of regulation Benefit target Reduced negative env impact/improve env quality Reduced material extraction Assumptions Demonstrating contribution of EQual to risk reduction Dependency Evidence Market uptake Stakeholders Regulators, Env NGO's Businesses, people end markets Govts Measurement No of pollution incidents/prosecution Env quality Audit trail- materials and waste Risks Legislation (G/W directive)

Greater resource efficency BENEFITSOUTCOMES Increased customer confidence Better regulatory framework Better relationships OUTPUTS Comms Guidance for regulators Guidance for industry Greater resource efficiency - overview

Greater resource efficiency Owner WRAP/regulators Benefit target BREW metrics Financial benefit to industry Dependencies & risks Marketability of products Stigma of waste label Buy-in of industry Quality of waste- derived products/materials Stakeholders Waste producers Material users regulators product designers Measurement Lower production of waste Less use of virgin materials Increase in waste- derived products Increase in recycling Assumptions Consistent drive from Gov't Positive pricing of products Products are low risk environmentally Business will comply

More efficient and consistent regulation Owner Harvey Bradshaw (EA) ACTION TBC Measurement Surveys with stakeholders Reduced appeals Fewer parliamentary questions Assumptions Adequately resourced regulator Consistent approaches to waste Benefit target TBC Stakeholders (cont) European regulators -policy -interpretation -implementation Stakeholders Waste producers/processors Material users (manufacturing, agriculture) European commission Dependencies & risks Willingness to share approaches accross EU Knowledge transfer Trust + confidence/buy-in

Encourage sustainable & innovative approaches (by who/what) Owner Trade associations Government (innovation person in reg industry?) Measurement New business start up – new markets Permitting application types EOW e-tool? Benefits target (target would be longer term) Waste previously disposed of now being recovered/re-used Assumptions The benefits of using waste – derived materials outweigh knowledge EU approach doesn’t change Stakeholders Waste management sector Consultants EA? Comms –(best ways to do it/how) Dependencies & risks Inconsistent frameworks EOW tool providing a quicker process Encourage business New knowledge re: impacts of using waste-derived materials

Less waste disposal Owner Trade associations WRAP Measurement Less waste to landfill Moving waste up the hierarchy Benefits target Less tonnage to landfill More waste recycled Assumptions Ongoing increasing drive by government to divert waste from landfill Stakeholders LGA Strategic forum for construction Highways agency Waste producers/processors Waste regulatory staff Dependencies & risks Waste planning for infrastructure (county & national level) – what’s already there and what’s changing Field trial results show materials not appropriate for their current uses

Increased business profitability Owner Trade associations WRAP Regulators? Assumptions Consistent drive from Government Relationship between volumes and profitability Benefit target Cost savings re regulatory burden Measurement Less financial burden from regulation New business start up – new markets Impact assessments – measure perception Stakeholders Businesses – industry Government Waste disposal industry Producers of secondary materials Users of secondary materials Dependencies & risks Market confidence Results are favourable Viability of markets Market sees value in what EQual produce Changes in Government’s strategies (re helping businesses make money) and conflicts with EOW Potential users tied into contracts
