Material Reuse & Waste Classification
“Practical assessment of materials to support appropriate reuse, management and disposal”
What is Material Reuse & Waste Classification?
All Clear Group can assess materials generated during projects to help clients understand their available reuse, management and disposal options.
Our environmental team can inspect and sample stockpiles or in-situ materials, coordinate appropriate laboratory analysis and interpret the results against applicable NSW EPA requirements. We provide clear advice on the classification of the material and any relevant conditions or limitations that may apply to its reuse or disposal.
Assessments can be tailored to the type and volume of material, its source, proposed use or destination, and any contaminants of concern identified or suspected.

FAQ
Waste classification is the process of assessing a material’s contaminant levels against NSW EPA requirements to determine how it can be lawfully managed and disposed of. It gives you certainty about where the material can go.
Virgin excavated natural material (VENM) is natural material, such as clay, gravel or rock, that hasn’t been affected by human activities. Excavated natural material (ENM) is naturally occurring material that can be reused for certain purposes if it meets the conditions of the relevant NSW EPA resource recovery order. Testing is needed to confirm which category applies.
Your reuse and disposal options depend on what’s in the material. Classifying it first helps avoid rejected loads, unexpected costs and compliance issues.
Sometimes. It depends on the test results, the proposed use and whether the material meets the conditions of an applicable resource recovery framework. We can assess it before it moves.
Leachability testing measures how readily contaminants may be released from a material into water. It is used alongside total contaminant results to classify materials and determine suitable management options.
A licensed asbestos assessor in Australia is a professional who has received specialized training and certification to conduct assessments of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). Their primary roles include:
Testing and Sampling: They collect samples from suspected asbestos materials for laboratory analysis to confirm the presence of asbestos.
Risk Assessment: They evaluate the condition of asbestos materials in buildings and determine the potential risks associated with exposure.
Management Plans: They develop and recommend management plans for handling asbestos, including safe removal or encapsulation if necessary.
Compliance Monitoring: They ensure that asbestos management practices comply with local and national regulations, such as the Work Health and Safety Act.
Reporting: They provide detailed reports on their findings, including recommendations for safety measures and compliance with legal requirements.
