QUESTION NO.7

QUESTION: Councillor L. Hagin Meade

To ask the Chief Executive about waste produced from insulation panels during Council retrofits. How is it controlled and managed?

REPLY:

Waste produced under the Council’s Energy Efficiently and Retrofit Waste Programme (ERRP) from both external insulation board and mineral wall extraction is disposed of in accordance with Waste Management Legislation. Our team/contractors ensure that minimal external insulation waste is produced as we only use this type of insulation on certain property types. The Council also works with our energy retrofit contractors during the initial assessment phase of the properties selected for retrofit to ensure that only the amount of material required to insulate the building is procured to reduce the potential for excess waste.
