Interventions and Innovation Delivery Group
CEW works with private and public sector clients and construction companies to overcome barriers to the use of recycled and secondary materials.
Introduction
The C&D Waste team are able to offer intermittent interventions, offered as informal support for construction sector businesses – providing referrals, problem solving, introductions to expert external support and assisting construction businesses to meet challenges and address difficulties which may not be tackled without knowledgeable support.
CEW’s interventions have historically been a reaction to requests from suppliers and contractors seeking support to address technical issues and overcome the obstacles preventing the wider use of recycled and secondary materials. By taking a more proactive role CEW will now use its networks to look at opportunities within contracts to address the potential for inclusion of “alternative” sources of materials at the design stage.
CEW is establishing as Innovation Delivery Group to give real opportunities for innovative technologies to be showcased on real projects.
