Reducing construction waste

Reducing construction waste with timber covers

Construction and demolition waste makes up a big share of what ends up in landfill — in New Zealand and worldwide. One simple way to cut waste on site: protect your timber properly.

Research from Unitec has looked at how timber covers reduce construction waste — timber that's kept dry and protected doesn't warp, stain or get written off before it's used. Less spoiled material means less waste and a better bottom line on the job.
