Hi. This is lay here with Prezi to talk to
you today about the impact of construction and demolition waste
in Australia.
Nice problem to pinpoint the growing population has caused the
rapid growth of construction in Australia, which impacts the generation
of construction and demolition waste.
The National Waste Report measures CND wasted 27 megaton, which
equals 44% of total waste generated across Australia.
The report also noted that CND waste grew by 32%
over 13 years, with most growth in the last five.
The unfavorable impacts of CND ways include environmental pollution, health
hazards on humans and significant financial burdens for companies and
government. On the one I feel strongly about is the
unnecessary loss off Natural resource is increased.
Awareness recognizes that waste minimization and resource efficiency play a
vital role in achieving sustainable development.
While construction and demolition are different exercise, the research tends
to place them together.
The building industry is controlled by the culture of time
is money and decisions in terms off expediency that impact
demolition rather than deconstruction.
Today's TV home improvement shows such as the block and
selling Houses Australia highlight that speed is desirable and makes
expediency, speedy cultural behavior opportunities.
While recycling much of the waste product has improved over
the last 10 years, there is still 6.7 million tons
of waste going to landfill due to the increase in
construction. Over ordering and off cuts are much of the
waste going to landfill.
Reconstruction is the beginning to close the way, salute and
lessen the burden on natural resource is having incentives and
infrastructure to recover, recycle and reuse.
Salvage building materials needs to be increased across all building
sectors and marketing growth of population equals construction.
The downside for the increase of construction has meant the
amount of waste going to landfill has is not reducing
the larger projects run by major construction companies or government
plan building sites to ensure that waste materials can be
sorted and separated into allocated beans to send to recycling
on smaller sites like residential space.
To allocate bends for concrete metals, timber and mix is
not always possible, while the conversation of reducing CND waste
centers on the larger scale contractors, homeowners and renovators to
achieve minimal waste and consider recycling need to collaborate with
the building team.
The discovery of researching topics helps better understand the inquiry
and make better informed decisions.
Researching the topic yourself means that the inquiry will become
specific. The ability to question will gain better knowledge to
form your own opinions or decisions without bias or outside
influence. Think globally.
Act locally.
During this inquiry, I was surprised to discover how high
the recycling of CND waste was being achieved in the
construction industry.
Also, how landfill sites are managed.
On the local council website, I learned that that they
extract gas and electricity in partnership with the landfill.
Gas management.
30,000 megawatt hours of electricity per year on the removal
of over 340,000 tons of carbon die outside as there
has been awakening and more discussion about recycling.
A change needs to grow homes air where we develop
cultural behavior and recycling is becoming easier for this practice
that become the Australian way.
Recycle batteries at LD office, which makes a difference with
the recycling for mobile phones in toner, cartridge pens, markers
and data storage.
The 10 cents refund incentives to glass bottles, cans and
plastic bottles is a great motivator.
Thanks for being here today with May happy recycling
