HOW CAN YOU BETTER MANAGE YOUR WASTE?

Every year in the UK 106 million tonnes of material is thrown away by the construction and demolition industry, representing approximately one third of all waste and making it the single largest waste stream. Of this, 34% is sent to landfill, 50% is reused (mainly aggregates) and only 16% is recycled.

Landfill tax is escalating - going up to £32 in April 2008 and increasing at £8 per tonne, per year to reach £48 in 2010. It is estimated that at current rates of disposal, the 10,000 sites in the UK will reach capacity within 6-15 years.
