Environmental responsibility and the construction industry

Every year, the construction and demolition industry produces over 90 million tonnes of waste, more than any other industry and three times as much as domestic refuse.

And around 3 million tonnes of 'waste' are unused materials that are manufactured, delivered to site – and thrown straight into a skip.

Statistics like these demonstrate why more and more legislation is being introduced and why construction businesses need to stay legally compliant.

The impact of obligations to report environmental performance can be seen throughout the supply chain, with pressure on suppliers to prove that they too are committed to reducing waste and improving their efficient use of resources, as well as demonstrating robust legal compliance.

Onerous as these issues are, the simple savings that come from resource efficiency can have a dramatic effect on overall profitability, especially where the profit margin is small.
