Abstract
BRE studies have shown that packaging materials can constitute as much as 50% of the volume of waste leaving a construction site. Traditionally the cost for disposal of this material has been borne by the main contractor. This paper represents the initial results of the first study in the UK to show what packaging materials are available for recovery, reuse and recycling within the construction industry.
