Introduction to Blog

This blog will provide a learning space for students who are undertaking the Construction and Demolition Waste Management module on the M.Sc. in Environmental Systems at the Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology.

Construction and Demolition Waste Module Week 2

This week we examined construction waste production from an international, European and national perspective. The methodologies used in the Environmental Protection Agency's National Waste Reports were analysed in detail to provide some insight to the data collection approaches behind the national figures. Next week, we are undertaking a site visit to a selected case study, which will act as the basis for the development of detailed construction and demolition waste management plans.
