Create pre-demolition audits with SmartWaste
The construction industry’s focus on sustainable and efficient building practices has encouraged the application of circular economy thinking. Projects need to demonstrate, at design and planning stages, how they will prioritise waste reuse and reduction.
A pre-demolition and pre-refurbishment audit provides clients with independent advice about the products and materials that can be reused or recycled prior to demolition or major refurbishment.
This is also a requirement in BREEAM, the world’s leading sustainability assessment method for buildings and infrastructure: demolition waste management is included in the assessment process.
