In this episode of The Soil Link Podcast, host Will Rundle is joined by Ben Winch, a leading voice in sustainable soil reuse and Associate Director at RSK Geosciences.
Together, they explore what it takes to build a circular soil economy in construction — one where excess materials are no longer treated as waste, but as valuable, reusable resources.
Topics include:
- What an MMP (Material Management Plan) really is — and why timing is everything
- The commercial and environmental benefits of treating soil as a resource
- Common pitfalls that lead to avoidable landfill costs
- How early engagement, good documentation, and collaboration between sites can unlock huge savings
- Why platforms like Soil Link are key to enabling cross-project material sharing at scale
This is a must-listen for developers, contractors, ground workers and sustainability professionals looking to stay ahead of regulation, reduce cost, and improve environmental outcomes.
