While utilising a construction waste recycling service is beneficial for the environment and can support your waste management responsibilities, it is important that the waste disposal service you partner with has synergies with the rest of your project logistics. Construction waste disposal should support a project, not be a hindrance.
Recycling construction waste can aid in responsible waste management, which today is a requirement of all projects.
Australia’s construction sector benefits from the numerous advantages that come with recycling construction waste. These can include reduced waste levies, on-site safety and sustainability, and positive company reputation. However, the natural environment also has a lot to gain from construction waste recycling – there are several ways that it contributes to a healthier construction sector and environment.
Products made from recycled construction waste have many uses in the construction industry, but many of the common uses are often overlooked. When thinking about recycled materials, we often focus on building things out of reclaimed materials, however, recycled construction waste comes in many shapes and sizes and has a range of other applications.
Construction waste management plays a significant role in any construction project.
Construction waste management, much like the construction industry itself, is made up of several challenges and considerations that can affect a building project, all stemming from economics, social and environmental factors.
Sustainability awareness has rapidly changed the way we think about demolition. What was once a sector dominated by heavy machines and piles of rubble is now a space where we think more strategically about the salvageability of materials and our impact on the environment.
Environmental sustainability is a societal constant; however, the conversation surrounding the planet’s future has recently been boiling over. Economists and environmental experts believe that, based on our lifestyle needs and the way we generate waste, the current economic model is unsustainable.
From heavy machinery to millions of tonnes of building materials and potential waste, construction sites can leave a significant impact on the community. Society is growing increasingly aware of environmental concerns, leading to increased attention on how to make construction sites more sustainable.
As Australia’s population continues to grow, so does the need for investment in buildings and infrastructure. The need to maintain Australia’s progress gives the construction waste recycling industry an optimistic future. We look at what the future of Australia's construction recycling industry looks like.
Construction waste recycling provides a number of financial benefits and reputational growth opportunities for Australian construction companies. The key is getting the most recycled materials out of a construction or demolition project, which requires detailed knowledge about what can and cannot be reused in the future.
Construction projects can produce large amounts of recyclable building waste no matter the project size. With approximately 75 per cent of construction and demolition waste being diverted from landfill, we review how you can ensure your project is even more sustainable.
Construction projects of all sizes are guaranteed to generate a degree of waste. Here are some key reasons why you should partner with a construction waste removal company like MET Recycling on your project site.
