How to use this guide
This guide is to be used on-site by contractors, project managers and supervisors, all of whom can establish effective waste management on-site by using best and innovative practices and methods. It is designed to meet the needs of residential and commercial buildings towards a circular economy, and includes examples of how teams and/or worker groups can work together to ensure a reliable and practical waste management strategy.
The worker groups are described as:
Group 1: Those who involved in the construction site for a long-term period and produce a significant amount of waste. It is considered as the group that has direct responsibility for managing the waste, for example the project supervisor and/or the contractor.
Group 2: Those who produce waste but do not have direct responsibility for it, for example contractors who may only be onsite for a limited period of time to install a special equipment or professionals responsible to fulfill specific project requirements.
