Description
Construction waste makes up one-third of the total refuse nationwide in the US. Demolition represents more than 90 percent of total C&D debris generation, while construction represents less than 10 percent.
Such statistics makes it clear it is important to make better use of debris and existing building materials to make substantial changes in our landfills. This webinar will be a 3 person panel discussion between architects (participants) moderated by Libby Barnes, AIA, Tim Flanagan the General Manager of the Monterey Regional Waste Management District and John Teliha of Otto Construction, located in Monterey CA.
Discussion will be focused on ways to reduce construction waste starting with the design phase through the end of construction and how these practices improve the environment and create cost benefits.
