How to use the Net Waste Tool

The Net Waste Tool builds on the previous RC Toolkit by allowing you to assess waste as well as reused/recycled content on a construction project.  

You are able to assess a number of different projects, including new builds (housing, retail, office, education, healthcare and bespoke projects), refurbishments and infrastructure projects. The Tool's database of components is tailored to the sort of specifications typically seen in these kinds of projects.

The Tool requires you to enter basic project information and asks you to set requirements for waste and recycled content. The new "hub and spoke" design of the Tool combines the two key functions of recycled content analysis (materials in) and waste analysis (materials out). Guidance documents can be accessed on the right of this page.
