This handbook contains comprehensive guidance on waste minimization measures. It is aimed at the policy-makers of all organizations in the various roles in the construction industry including clients, designers, contractors and suppliers. The first chapter presents an overview of the key opportunities to reduce, reuse and recycle construction waste and stresses the importance of the board's role in encouraging such measures.
