Construction and Demolition Waste Module Week 8 Pre-Lecture Resources

This week, we are going to look at closed loop recycling and its potential advantages and disadvantages. WRAP have a huge resource of information on the different material types that enter the construction and demolition waste stream. This is an excellent starting point to stimulate discussion on how we could overcome the barriers outlined in the different material sections and even rethink our whole approach to move the focus higher up the waste hierarchy. Here are some excellent videos on the concept of closed loop recycling from an M & S milk bottle (using advanced recycling technologies) to Eurocell's PVC-U windows to Armstrong's ceilings...enjoy!
