The construction sector plays a significant role in the UK’s waste generation, accounting for over one-third of the country’s total annual waste. Astonishingly, the industry produces around 100 million tonnes of construction waste every year. On a brighter note, it’s heartening to learn that an estimated 93% of this waste is recovered and repurposed, showcasing the sector’s commitment to sustainable practices.

In the past decade, the construction of 330,000 new homes across the UK has underscored the industry’s substantial demand for materials, consuming 400 million tonnes of natural resources annually. This highlights the construction sector’s pivotal role and its duty to spearhead effective waste management initiatives, serving as a model for other industries to emulate.
