Ten Solutions for Sustainability

8. Manage Construction Waste

Solution: Concrete demolition waste can be reused as aggregate road base or construction fill. In some cases concrete can be reused in new mixes – with technical monitoring.

Benefit: Crushing and reusing concrete on site eliminates transportation and landfill disposal, and redirects waste into the new project. Recycling concrete for reuse on or off site reduces waste, and redirects reusable materials.
