More than half of all waste generated in Wales comes from the construction industry, and each year, the sector sends an estimated 0.9m tonnes to landfill and spends around £90m on materials that will ultimately be wasted.
Halving Waste to Landfill
WRAP Cymru supports WRAP’s Halving Waste to Landfill drive within Wales, with the aim of halving the amount of construction, demolition and excavation waste going to landfill by 2012.
In achieving this goal, WRAP Cymru will continue to work with Constructing Excellence in Wales, the construction sector and its supply chain to minimise waste and build the use of recycled materials in construction projects.
