SmartWaste Pre-demolition Audits: Supporting the Circular Economy

Construction’s focus on sustainable and efficient building practices has encouraged the application of circular economy thinking. Increasingly, new construction or refurbishment projects need to demonstrate, at design and planning stages, how waste reuse and reduction are going to be prioritised. This obligation is embodied in BREEAM, the world’s leading sustainability assessment method for infrastructure and buildings, where an audit of demolition waste management should be completed.

SmartWaste is BRE’s environmental and sustainability monitoring and management solution. It provides centralised data collection and validation capabilities that help construction, refurbishment and demolition companies deliver on their ESG reporting needs. Our solution delivers the following Pre-demolition Audit capabilities:

Experienced Auditors – using BRE science and expertise to deliver pre-demolition and pre-refurbishment audits that provide clients with independent advice about product and material reuse and recycling.

Accurate Reporting – supporting planning life cycle assessment, Circular Economy Statements and BREEAM assessment and certification.
