TURNING one industry’s by-product into another’s raw material is a key goal of the Circular Economy Package, and the skip hire, recycling and waste industries play a crucial role in making this a practical reality, says RWM CHAIRMAN, BARRY DENNIS.


Zero waste-to-landfill commitments are becoming an effective business model for construction and demolition contractors, not only driving their sustainability agendas, but also providing extra revenue streams.


Demolition materials, for instance, are often main feeders into waste and reprocessing yards, where wood and other hard materials are crushed, aggregates are washed, and the resulting materials can be sold back to new construction sites.


This results in the commercially viable scenario that sees reprocessed material from demolition sold back to the new construction sites that are rebuilding the previous demolition.


Key requirements to this closed-loop reality include investments in up-to- date and quality equipment, providing efficiency and productivity gains, as well as furthering sustainability goals.


Securing skip hire packages with a client very early in the contract is also invaluable for forward planning and logistics, as well as a partnership approach that sees the waste and recycling company work with the site contractor on remediation and demolition, to effectively organise material streams and segregate waste into skips on site.

Currently, recycling rates of over 90% have been recorded in some demolition projects, but while bricks and steel are relatively simple to recover, contractors report being held


back by the lack of recycling markets for other materials like roof felt, carpet and polystyrene insulation.


Indeed, there is still a long way to go – currently the construction and demolition sector produces between 25% and 30% of all the waste in the European Union, ranging from concrete to wood, glass and excavated soil.


New developments in the tools available to the construction waste recycling sector, look set to help reach the ambitious goal of recycling 70% of non-hazardous construction waste by 2020.


But it is also essential to increase the durability, recyclability and reusability of components within buildings.


Construction material producers need to consider the circular economy from inception, from using fixings that allow their products to be disassembled and reused, to using 100% recycled building materials like reclaimed asphalt or concrete.
