Description

The Construction industry faces pressure to reduce construction and demolition waste, with the possibility that minimising waste may become a requirement in the future.

Construction and demolition activity produces around 30-50% of total waste sent to landfill, but on most building sites, waste can be cut by at least half, with considerable benefits.

Bulletin 671 Reducing construction and demolition waste provides practical guidance and advice on reducing waste. It focuses on houses and small buildings.

Scope

  • following the 5Rs - reject, reduce, reuse, repair, recycle.
  • designing to reduce waste
  • selecting materials and products
  • developing a site-specific waste management plan
  • managing waste on site.
