I am working on a commercial interiors project in London-UK. The standard for construction waste most commonly used in the UK is the PAS 402. Has anyone had experience of achieving this credit using PAS 402 certified waste management facilities on projects?

Juliana - Thanks for your inquiry. Although this is indeed a innovation credit idea, you'll probably get a better response posting your question under this pilot credit's forum - https://leeduser.buildinggreen.com/credit/Pilot-Credits/MRpc87.

Hi Juliana. Just wondering if you had any luck with this pilot credit using PAS 402? We are also looking at this credit on a few projects in the UK using facilities certified under PAS 402 or the Carbon Trust Zero Waste To Landfill Certification. Any feedback from your experience would be great.

Hi Akos. We do not have a definitive feedback on that credit yet as our submission has been delayed a little bit due to an appeal for a design credit. When we submitted our design stage credits we also submitted some documentation for this credit. Within the feedback we received there was no opposition from USGBC in principle to the use of PAS 402. The comments on this specific credit only referred to completing the pilot credit questionnaire and feedback form when submitting construction stage so I am assuming that it is possible that it will be accepted.
