Waste Minimisation
Performance indicator
Waste to landfill as a proportion of production
output
Major progress has been made by the concrete industry in
reducing the amount of waste sent to landfill. The results show a
greater than 60 per cent reduction compared to the 2008 baseline.
This is significantly ahead of the target, which was set in
achieving a 15 per cent reduction.
The overall concrete industry achievement in reducing waste has
more than doubled the net waste ratio. The concrete industry is a
net user of waste and continues to increase its consumption such
that it now uses almost 47 times more waste, by-products and
secondary materials from other industries than the waste it sends
to landfill.
