Green construction guide
March 5 2008
WRAP (the Waste and Resources Action Programme) have unveiled a new guide for manufacturers of building products about labelling their products.
The Rules of Thumb Guide to Recycled Content in Construction Products will help manufacturers of products containing recycled content to accurately calculate and declare the amount of recycled content.
It is intended to make it easier for developers to comply with existing and forthcoming environmental legislation (such as Site Waste Management Plans, due to be introduced in April 2008) and targets set by planning authorities.
