Presentation
Material traceability and net zero in major demolition projects

In the era of sustainable development, demolition material management and recycling are now a key element of any major demolition project.

In line with the industry’s sustainable development initiatives, demolition material traceability is rapidly becoming a must for any serious demolition contractor willing to do more to ensure the materials are properly tracked, maximise their re-use, and limit the environmental impact of disposal.

The presentation will highlight the key steps need to implement a demolition material traceability programme on any project, using existing technological tools at low cost. Mainly based on past and actual experience, the presentation will include real examples from ongoing projects.
