What is construction waste?
Construction waste consists of unwanted or excess material created during construction or demolition projects. This could include recyclable packaging, products of demolition and a surplus of materials resulting from over-ordering or inaccurate estimates.
The most common types of construction waste products are:
- Insulation materials
- Asbestos
- Concrete, bricks, tiles and ceramics
- Wood, glass and plastic
- Metallic waste (including pipes and cables)
- Soil & contaminated soil
- Cement
- Paints and varnishes
- Adhesives
Why is construction waste management important?
The amount of construction waste being sent into landfill has increased over the last few years. If waste is not managed correctly, hazardous substances can lead to water and soil pollution. In order to protect the environment and minimise the waste sent to landfill; it is vital for companies to manage their waste responsibly. Effective waste management also minimises the risk of hazards and accidents in the workplace.
