Projects
Here is a selection of r3’s current and recent projects. These range is size from small bespoke consultancy projects to large R&D activities over several years. In some projects r3 acts alone as sole provider, in others r3 is part of a team, including some large multi-lateral and international projects.
The types of projects include technical consultancy, technical auditing and procurement support, proposal evaluation, policy development, site support such as CL:AIRE DoW CoP declarations, research and development, business support / market entry work, support for European project proposal writing; demonstration projects; expert witness review and due diligence support.
Project clients include private and public sector clients and funding agencies.
We have worked on projects in the UK, EU, elsewhere in Europe (e.g. Kosovo), Asia (particularly China and Japan), North and South America and Australia. A series of tags can be used to filter this listing, by location and project type.

A significant environmental problem in city zoos (and similar self-managed visitor attractions with high water consumption like botanical gardens and parks, playgrounds, but also farms) was discovered in the absence of water reuse. Zoos consume a large amount of mostly high-quality (drinking) water, which is associated with high operating costs. At the same time are zoos often limited by the water shortage especially in the main season and periods of drought.

Healthy soil underpins a range of environmental, economic and societal benefits, including biodiversity, carbon storage and flood mitigation. However, soil degradation, caused by poor soil management or inappropriate land use, can reduce the ability of soil to perform these vital functions. Soil health in the urban environment can be significantly impacted by activities associated with construction and therefore Defra issued a Code of Practice in 2009. This is being updated in view of recent developments, an increasing body of knowledge and the 25 Year Environment Plan. R3 is providing technical support and peer review for the updating and development of the Review of the Code of Practice for the Sustainable Use of Soils on Construction Sites, which is currently being carried out by CL:AIRE (www.claire.co.uk).

Paul Bardos is a qualified person for the purposes of auditing materials management plans and submissions under the DoW CoP scheme. He is a trainer for the programme, and also an external auditor for it. DoW CoP helps facilitate this re-use within the precepts of the Waste Framework Directive, and so avoiding the expensive and wasteful disposal of excavated materials to landfill. This must follow the requirements of the English Environment Agency & Natural Resources Wales in an auditable way. The DoW CoP is a self-funding industry self-regulation scheme managed by the UK charity CL:AIRE (www.claire.co.uk) under the auspices of the English and Welsh environmental regulators. The scheme was launched in 2008, and in 10 years from launch more than 200 million tonnes of materials have been recovered.

Following the rapid response of the Japanese government to the Fukushima Accident in 2011 a large amount of soil materials were removed to temporary storage. In recent years it has been possible for people to move back to some formerly restricted zones and the rehabilitation of the region and supporting returning communities is now an urgent priority.
This short project provided independent scrutiny of indicators developed by AIST with the support of Fukushima Prefectural Center for Environmental Creation, the National Institutes for Quantum and Radiological Science and Technology and Fukushima Medical University. These indicators have been developed to support at least semi-quantitative appraisal of options for: the use of forests contaminated with radio-caesium, decontamination conducted by national government for restricted area; and the use of farmlands once contaminated with radio-caesium and now treated.

The Government of PR China and the Global Environmental Facility [GEF] have approved the project “Pops and Chemical Pollution Solutions through Area Based Eco effective Management”. UNIDO is the international Implementing Agency while the Foreign Economic Cooperation Office [FECO] at the Ministry for Environmental Protection is the National Executing Agency for this project. This project is concerned with eco-effective principles and building blocks in the area of industry and specifically the application of an eco-effective strategy to remove chemicals known to be harmful from a product or production life cycle. The project, being carried out by the Southern University of Science and Technology (Beijing), will demonstrate eco-effective value chain management through the development and application of eco-effective knowledge to design out persistent organic pollutants [POPs] and toxic chemicals in the products, by-products and production systems in a specified industrial value chain.
