Find out how you can help reduce construction waste to landfill.

Waste is costly for businesses and for the environment. A waste hierarchy sets out priorities for using resources in the most efficient way and reducing the amount of waste that is produced.

By designing out waste on a building project, you’ll save money on purchase costs of materials wasted, save money on cartage to landfill and support our goal for New Zealand’s construction industry from being responsible for 50% of all waste to landfill to one day… zero. Let’s go!
