Description
A significant amount of waste generated by the construction sector comes from the demolition of existing buildings and infrastructures. In developing countries, where the construction sector is strong, most of the waste generated is from construction activities. The present recovery rates in the region are much lower than international norms.
Objective
To maximize the quantity of existing on-site waste material diverted from landfill or incineration.
