Construction and Demolition Recycling as a way to Reduce Carbon

Construction

Hi all!

I work for a construction and demolition recycling company and we are trying to assist our customers with their decarbonization goals. I know that diverting waste from the landfill and preventing virgin resources from being extracted from the environment lessen green house gas emissions, but I was not sure how this could be quantified or relayed to our clients. I was wondering if anyone had any experience in this field and knows what this process may look like. I really appreciate any help!

Thank you!

Great to hear you’re supporting your clients with decarbonization goals. One way to show the impact is by tracking how much waste is diverted from landfills and using standard emission factors to estimate the reduction in greenhouse gases. We’ve also seen how proper planning through demolition estimating can help improve material recovery and reporting. Let me know if you need any more details!
