The construction business in the UK is responsible for nearly a third of all industry related pollution incidents.
Construction and demolition waste alone represent 19% of total UK waste.

The energy used in constructing, occupying and operating buildings represents approximately 50% of greenhouse gas emissions in the UK.
The enforcement of Site Waste Management Plans (SWMPs) are to be implemented to resolve these issues.
