Construction Waste and Debris

Construction Waste and Debris - The construction industry as a whole recycles more material than any other industry and MBI encourages members’ efforts to recycle construction and demolition debris.  MBI supports the reuse of materials in construction only where those materials have know and reliable performance thresholds.   Also, MBI realizes that in order for contractors’ recycling and reuse efforts to be effective, the infrastructure and market to recycle and reuse debris must be in place.  Recycling and reuse is becoming more prevalent in the industry and as technologies advance, so will the acceptance and utilization of recycled materials and equipment.  When feasible, expanding the use of recycled products can match environmental awareness with profitability.
