Construction & Demolition (C&D) (WA)

To reduce the volume of C&D Waste to landfill in an environmentally economic and sustainable manner.

1. Identify and agree on one recycled C&D material and work with relevant government and industry bodies to establish and implement a plan for developing and introducing state-wide specifications.
2. Develop and implement a plan to engage with relevant industry associations (e.g. Master Builders, Property Council, UDIA) to highlight the benefits of recycling C&D materials and how various C&D materials can be recycled in Perth rather than disposed to landfill 
3. Identify one material type from the C&D sector that could be readily recycled (but isn’t currently being recycled effectively) and identify potential end markets
4. For the material type identified in goal 3, develop and implement a plan engaging relevant organisations to recover, reprocess and sell recycled products
