Registration from 1.15 pm

Description of the event:

Resource efficiency is a term to describe the improved use of material resources, including waste reduction. The construction sector consumes around 370 million tonnes of material each year and produces an estimated 100 million tonnes of waste. The demolition industry plays an important role in reducing the amount of waste that goes to landfill. The demolition industry produces approximately 30 million tonnes of waste every year and has high recycling rates, with 90% of demolition waste often being recovered. The challenge is to ensure that these recycling rates remain high. Through the NFDC, the industry is launching a commitment and associated plan with actions throughout the supply chain to maintain these high recovery rates.
