How SmartWaste supports pre-demolition audits

Increasingly, new construction or refurbishment projects need to demonstrate, at design and planning stages, how waste reuse and reduction are going to be prioritized.

Construction’s focus on sustainable and efficient building practices has encouraged the application of circular economy thinking. Increasingly, new construction or refurbishment projects need to demonstrate, at design and planning stages, how waste reuse and reduction are going to be prioritised.

This obligation is embodied in BREEAM, the world’s leading sustainability assessment method for infrastructure and buildings, where an audit of demolition waste management should be completed.
