Construction plastic waste overlooked: Study

The Construction Plastics Initiative (CPI) Benchmarking Study by Vancouver-based Light House assesses plastic waste management in Canadian construction projects. It highlights that plastics are often under-tracked and under-managed, calling for better reporting and recycling practices. The study aims to guide the industry towards a circular economy, supported by initiatives like pilot programs in British Columbia. It suggests that plastic diversion rates could eclipse 80% with improved practices and partnerships.
