The Wrap Award For Sustainable Construction

摘要

This contractor was so pleased to win a place on last year's shortlist that it has made the elimination of waste part of its long-term business strategy. The result? A 24% reduction in waste from its London sites, and schemes that have achieved a 99% diversion of material to landfill. How did it do it? Partly through the just-in-time delivery of materials to reduce damage during storage, and off-site recycling facilities for cramped jobs. Then there was the creation of the post of waste manager to work with its supply chain and the far-sighted appointment of a sustainability manager. This resulted in suppliers holding "waste workshops" to help them generate no waste at all.
