Construction & Demolition (C&D) waste

Construction and demolition waste contributes around 17% of waste to landfill in New Zealand. Changes to design and on-site practices can help reduce the amount of waste and increase the amount of material reused or recycled.

For comprehensive information regarding industrial and home C&D waste minimisation through design and planning, or smart waste recycling, transport, tracking and disposal options for wood, metal, plasterboard, and concrete check out the Resource Efficiency in Building and Related Industries (REBRI) website available at www.rebri.org.nz
