Circular Construction Waste
It is estimated that about 30% of the waste in many cities comes from construction. This waste often has to be transported long distances to a landfill site. This results in pollution, traffic impacts and the loss of valuable materials and space. Contractors may also take shortcuts, leading to flytipping. The picture above shows construction waste being dumped near a busy road in Pretoria, South Africa. This waste is not only an eyesore but also damages natural environments and could cause traffic accidents.
