On average we sent 45 - 54m3 (7.5 tonnes) to landfill per build.
Our goal is to create a construction waste management model that firstly takes care of our own (Sentinel Homes Waikato) waste minimisation goals and eventually can be rolled out as a practical cost-effective solution throughout the sector.
We will do this by:
Reduce the average waste to landfill per Sentinel Homes new house built from 7.5 tonnes to below 1.5 tonnes by the end of 2 years
Create a wide variety of products that can be built from repurposed materials in our shed. Providing reverse logistics for recyclable materials to be sorted and taken to recycling centres.
Network with local community initiatives that can utilise building materials that can’t be repurposed at our repurposing centre
Comprise a complete database for all current construction materials used in NZ and what end-life or re-purpose solutions are available for them. Work with local initiatives to ensure work is underway to have available solutions for all materials by the end of the 2 years
