Recycling
Construction is facing enormous pressure to find ways to conserve and make best use of our increasingly scarce natural materials. Recycling materials from demolition projects is more economical than disposal and can result in reduced project costs. One way to do this is to recycle materials, the major source of which is from demolitions. Providing the materials are suitable for their intended purpose, there is no reason why they cannot be recycled in line with building regulations.
