Construction and demolition waste accounts for over 60% of total UK waste. Learn how leading site managers are implementing waste management plans that save money and keep projects compliant.
Construction and demolition waste represents one of the largest waste streams in the UK, with over 120 million tonnes generated annually. Effective management of this waste is not just an environmental imperative but a significant cost-saving opportunity.
A Site Waste Management Plan (SWMP) should be the starting point for every construction project. While no longer a legal requirement, best practice dictates that all projects over £300,000 should have a comprehensive SWMP in place.
Segregation on site is the single most impactful action site managers can take. By separating timber, metals, concrete, plasterboard and general waste at source, recovery rates can exceed 90%.
