A new guide highlighting the opportunities reuse excess construction materials in WA projects has been developed by Active Sustainability and Foundations Research.

WA Construction Resources – Recovered Construction and Demolition Materials Resource Guide is supported by industry research which finds there is an abundance of recovered material available that are typically cheaper than virgin products, and that can perform better when used correctly.

The Guide aims to:

• increase awareness and knowledge to enable a better uptake of recovered C&D materials;
• lead to a reduction in virgin material usage;
• divert valuable resources currently going to landfill.

It seeks to address information gaps between WA developers, builders, consultants and recycling contractors.
