Climate Goals & Targets
Environmental Challenges
- Building sector produces one third of solid waste each year, and consumes half of Europe’s natural resources
- Moving away from a culture of take-use-dispose is one of the biggest challenges construction faces
Mitigation Strategies
- Focussing on deconstruction – not demolition, encouraging selective sorting of waste streams, moving away from landfill – including government legislation to make landfilling waste the least attractive option, training and education of contractors and other construction professionals, and making much greater use of secondary resources.
