The construction and demolition (C&D) industry is a major contributor to global waste, producing 40% of solid waste worldwide. To address this environmental challenge, companies must implement effective waste reduction strategies.
Common waste contributors include design flaws, poor site management, and lack of recycling knowledge. Tackling these issues can lead to a more sustainable approach to construction.
Plan for Waste Reduction: Develop a waste management strategy that includes recycling, proper disposal, and efficient material handling.
Opt for Sustainable Deconstruction: Salvage reusable materials to reduce waste and lower the environmental impact of demolition activities.
Streamline Waste Handling: Invest in compactors, roll-off dumpsters, and partnerships with recycling services to improve efficiency.
These strategies can help the C&D industry operate more sustainably while maintaining high productivity. Explore the accompanying resource for further information, courtesy of Sourgum Waste.
