Green Star-compliant Waste Management Plans.
Elephants Foot Consulting provides specialist waste management advice, reporting and certification support services to support Green Star projects across Australia.
With over 50 years of industry experience and thousands of waste management plans prepared for developments of all scales, our team assists project teams in achieving Green Star operational waste requirements through compliant waste strategies, independent reviews and specialist certification services.
Our services support both the current Green Star Buildings tool and legacy tools including the Green Star Design & As Built tools.
We prepare and review waste management documentation to demonstrate compliance with the operational waste requirements of Green Star Buildings Credit 4: Responsible Resource Management.
Our services include:
For projects registered under the legacy Green Star Design & As Built tool, we prepare dedicated waste management plans and supporting documentation to address:
Pathway A – Performance Pathway: Specialist Plan
Preparation of a specialist Operational Waste Management Plan demonstrating how waste generation, separation, storage, collection and resource recovery outcomes will be achieved throughout the life of the development.
Pathway B – Prescriptive Pathway: Facilities
Assessment preparation of a specialist Operational Waste Management Plan demonstrating that waste storage and handling facilities satisfy Green Star requirements for operational waste management infrastructure.
Where a project team has already prepared a waste management plan, Elephants Foot Consulting can undertake an independent review and issue a Waste Specialist Sign-Off Letter confirming compliance with the relevant Green Star waste requirements where appropriate.
This service is particularly valuable for developers, sustainability consultants and Green Star consultants seeking independent specialist verification.
