RECYCLE YOUR CONSTRUCTION WASTE TO SAVE MONEY AND REDUCE YOUR ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

摘要

Waste is not only an environmental and sustainability issue; itis also inefficient in business terms. By having to pay to dispose of the waste from materials bought, construction companies spend approximately 5 percent of their profit on waste removaland approximately 200 million pounds in Landfill Tax. When you add waste from the manufacture of construction products and the quarrying of mineral resources, this figure rises to over 50 percent. These figures, coupled with the Landfill Tax Accelerator, which is increasing by eight pounds a year from the current 24 pounds per tonne to 48 pounds per tonne by 2010, mean that ignoring the issue will prove a costly course of action.
