Our teams work directly with suppliers, waste contractors and tradespeople in three areas:

1. Specifying packaging when optional: Prior to ordering materials from merchants, we specify if they need wrapping or all the usual unnecessary packaging depending on site conditions at the time.
2. Separating Waste: Additional skip bins and bulky bags are supplied onsite labelled for our trained team to separate waste streams that are recyclable.
3. Recording Volumes: Learning and sharing is the aim of recording waste and our contribution to landfill. Volumes in M3 are calculated from bin sizes and bags taken from site to various recycling areas.

We were lucky to have the space on this site to do this case study, but it proves without a lot of extra effort the construction industry could reduce their contribution to landfill by up to 60% right away – Director David James
