What you’ll learn.
- When we look at a building demolition site, we think we are witnessing an act of pure destruction. In reality, that pile of rubble will go on to have a second life.
- 95% of demolition rubble will be used to make something new.
- The amount of construction and demolition (C&D) waste produced every year is more than double the municipal solid waste produced by our cities and towns.
- C&D waste is only recycled because there is an economic incentive to do so.
- We can increase the economic incentive to recycle C&D waste through investment in infrastructure, public policy around C&D recycling, and corporate policy around how to invest in new buildings.
