Why REBRI?
REBRI's main focus is on reducing the amount of building material wastes generated at construction and demolition sites that would otherwise be sent to landfill.
Assessing Waste Streams

Planning for Waste Management

Managing Waste
Opportunities to reduce waste exist at all stages of construction and deconstruction projects. The key is to reduce the amount of material wastes generated in the first place and then ensure any wastes are managed effectively.
