At GMT, 100% of all plasterboard, glass, metal and hard fill was able to be recycled in addition to around 8.5t of landfill destined office furniture which was re-homed with charities.<\/p>\n<p>The creation of a case study and it\u2019s dissemination to industry is on-going but it is hoped that shining attention on the waste from defit issue and presenting the alternatives to landfill will assist in creating systemic change in this industry. A key outcome of the project was a renewed focus on exploring recycling alternatives for composite wood products, which were seen to make up around 50% of material sent to landfill. In response, Edge will soon be providing a trial load of demolition wood waste for waste to energy recovery in an industry first trial.<\/p>\n<p>Further exciting developments with carpet manufacturers Interface and ceiling tile manufacturers Armstrong, will contribute to solving the recycling issue from defit waste.<\/p>\n<p>Edge has been publishing an ongoing record of activity in the building defit space on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thefifthestate.com.au\/products-services\/waste\/the-defit-blog-saving-the-furniture-and-the-fittings-landfill-money-etc\/69716\">\u2018The Defit Blog\u2019<\/a> through the Fifth Estate.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/edgeenvironment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Industrial-Ecology-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-3736 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/edgeenvironment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Industrial-Ecology-4-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Industrial Ecology 4\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/edgeenvironment.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2015\/07\/Industrial-Ecology-4-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/edgeenvironment.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2015\/07\/Industrial-Ecology-4-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/edgeenvironment.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2015\/07\/Industrial-Ecology-4-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/edgeenvironment.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2015\/07\/Industrial-Ecology-4-250x250.jpg 250w, https:\/\/edgeenvironment.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2015\/07\/Industrial-Ecology-4-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/edgeenvironment.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2015\/07\/Industrial-Ecology-4.jpg 553w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Partnered with the Better Buildings Partnership (BBP), the Sydney Industrial Ecology Network (SIEN) has been able to instigate and affect best practice in the demolition &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":3736,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ub_ctt_via":""},"categories":[518,1,17],"tags":[],"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/edgeenvironment.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2015\/07\/Industrial-Ecology-4.jpg","author_info":{"display_name":"admins","author_link":"https:\/\/edgeenvironment.com\/us\/author\/admins\/"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.8 -
