Background information on C&D waste

Every year in the United States, as much as 30% of all building materials delivered to a typical construction site can end up as waste. In total, the U.S. generated over 600 million tons of construction-related waste in 2018. 23% of the national waste stream is estimated to be C&D waste. Globally, by 2025, annual construction waste is expected to reach 2.2 billion tons.

How can we engage with the massive C&D waste resources more to benefit from them? Is there a business model that we can develop? Can we provide the public with these resources and provide them with more access?
