Quality Protocol
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Quality Protocol is a formalised quality control procedure designed by the Waste & Resources Action Programme, to highlight when a waste ceases to become a waste and becomes a recovered resource.[1]
The purpose of the Quality Protocol is to provide a uniform control process for producers, from which they can reasonably state and demonstrate that their product has been fully recovered and is no longer a waste. It also provides purchasers with a quality-managed product to common aggregate standards, which increases confidence in performance. Also, the framework created by the Protocol provides a clear audit trail for those responsible for ensuring compliance with Waste Management Legislation. [2]
Work on producing protocols for eight other waste streams should be issued for public consultation in Summer 2007. This includes waste vegetable oil, flat glass, non-packaging plastics, tyres, contaminated soils, pulverised fuel ash and blast furnace slag. [3]
