Healthcare construction waste diversion proves to be cost-effective, according to an article on the Medical Construction & Design website.
Reasons more healthcare construction projects are pursing waste diversion goals include:
• Several states prohibit construction and demolition debris from landfills
• Many hospital projects pursue waste LEED reduction-related credits
• there are significant cost-saving opportunities
One example of waste diversion efforts is the Scripps Anderson Medical Pavilion project in La Jolla, Calif. More than 70 percent of materials removed were recycled during construction.
