  Waste Management

About Construction Waste

The problem of construction waste is both social and economic. Since waste has a direct impact on the quality of life, customers now require better management of waste. Government bodies such as state governments and local councils also seek to improve waste management by all industries including construction firms. On the other hand, costs of waste disposal have increased and will continue to do so.

How the ACCI can Help

Our research on waste in housing and commercial construction enables us to identify and quantify waste streams, identify causes of waste including the impact of construction workers' attitudes, and to develop strategies for waste minimisation.
