Avfallssortering på byggarbetsplatser i samband med nyproduktion - Med förslag till sorteringsguide
(2018)- Abstract
- To reach the global targets, a number of actions must be taken. Among other things, the EU has decided that the recovery rate for waste from the building sector shall be at least 70 weight percent by year 2020. This means that the building sector needs to take increased responsibility for its waste. Based on the global targets, the Swedish Parliament has formulated 16 environmental quality targets whereof three are relevant for the building sector. The purpose of the report is to investigate and identify what types of waste that are generated by new constructions, its effect on the climate and the costs for handling the waste, by conducting a literature study and a case study at construction sites. The case study has been conducted to get... (More)

The purpose of the report is to investigate and identify what types of waste that are generated by new constructions, its effect on the climate and the costs for handling the waste, by conducting a literature study and a case study at construction sites. The case study has been conducted to get a picture of the reality regarding waste streams, handling and sorting. The literature study shows that the waste hierarchy is an important guideline for how waste can be handled and what happens after the waste contractors have taken care of the waste. It has shown that there is an obvious connection between the effects on the climate and the cost for waste disposal, which gives incentives to increase the sorting. The report discusses the possibility for hired staff to take care of the waste handling at the construction site. This suggestion has shown to be hard to analyze financially, but show clear environmental gains. The case study has indicated a lack of knowledge regarding waste issues among the workers and site management, and an unwillingness to spend time on waste handling. This also supports the possible solution with hired staff. The report has led to the necessity for one sorting guide that is clear and easy to implement, to increase the level of sorting. (Less)
