Maximising re-use of materials on site
Our ‘Maximising re-use of materials on-site’ guide is will help you identify the materials that are commonly wasted on construction and demolition sites and describes how these may be recovered and re-used.
The guide is for everyone involved in construction projects including design teams, principal contractors, sub-contractors and clients. It covers:
- Demolition and excavation
- Refurbishment
- New build
Implementing re-use activities on-site can help you:
- Save costs through a reduced need to purchase primary materials and reduced disposal and transportation costs
- Identify re-use opportunities and the available services required to implement them
- Gain evidence to support environmental management systems such as BREEAM or ISO14001
