Description

This 40-page report provides detailed data, analysis, and perspectives on how contractors manage construction waste and maximize resources through materials reuse, recycling or minimization. This new industry knowledge delves into how important contractors see sustainable waste management in the green building marketplace, the main drivers for waste diversion and how contractors can green their supply chain with sustainable waste practices.

Charts throughout the report offer detailed information on market sizing and trends in the marketplace for sustainable construction waste management. For example, when determining the relative importance of construction waste management in comparison to other green building practices, 61% of contractors rank construction waste management as an important aspect of a green building and 80% believe it will be important in five years. With the increase in the size of the green building marketplace, it is likely that efficiently managing construction waste and the use of more sustainable materials will become standard practice in construction.
