The Ultimate in Recovery ™

Plastics also often end up in waste streams, but much of it can be reused or upcycled. For example, some companies reuse plastics from jars and soda bottles to make insulators, removing some of the millions of tons of plastics from waste streams.

Construction engineers can also turn to eco-friendly, sustainable practices to remove waste from their projects. With so many people moving to cities, engineers are beginning to look toward modular construction to remove the waste and energy used in new construction.

Overall, reducing waste from construction and demolition can be achieved by using alternative construction ideas. Otherwise, contractors must divert their waste materials into dedicated streams where they can be handled appropriately to reduce landfill and incinerated waste.
