Principles of design for deconstruction to facilitate reuse and recycling. Summary SP159 [148274]

  £0.00
This full-colour eight-page guide alerts construction clients, engineers, designers, manufacturers and contractors to the need to design buildings in a more sustainable way. The growing shortage of landfill sites, which will become acute in the future when current structures are reaching the end of their design life, makes it paramount to reduce the amount of waste from redundant buildings. The solution is to design buildings with components that can easily and safely be reused or recycled rather than merely demolished and bulldozed into holes in the ground. This guide summarises the main issues that are considered in greater depth in CIRIA publication C607 Principles of design to facilitate reuse and recycling.
