Commercial development
Each year in the UK, construction activity consumes 420 million tonnes of material, spending £21 billion on products and materials for new build, repair, maintenance and improvement.
Many mainstream construction products include recovered material. Through product substitution, you could increase the overall recycled content used on a project, at no extra cost or risk.
This demonstrates a real contribution to sustainable development - increasing the value of recovered materials and diverting more from landfill.
