Space Waste Management Strategies

In the realm of fit-out projects, waste management is more than just a routine task - it's a blend of smart planning, sustainable practices, and innovation. Sustainable business practice is at the heart of our values at Space. ?

These are some of our waste management strategies and best practices, which demonstrate not only how we embrace sustainability, but also endeavour to drive change in the way the construction industry approaches waste.?

Prevention - pre-construction planning:?

• Conduct a waste audit: Identify the types and quantities of materials to be generated.?
• Opt for sustainable materials: Prioritise materials with minimal environmental impact like recycled, locally-sourced, or those with renewable content.?
• Strategic planning: Sync storage space allocation with the pacing of work progress to ensure efficient ordering and delivery.?

Minimisation - design for disassembly:?

• Design with disassembly in mind: Ensure materials and fixtures can be easily dismantled for reuse.?
• Optimise material usage: Reduce waste by planning cuts strategically. Utilize standard-sized components to avoid unnecessary custom cuts.?
• Educate and train: Equip all project members with knowledge about the waste management plan, proper sorting, and disposal methods.?

Reuse - Waste sorting and segregation:?

• Champion recycled materials: Incorporate products designed for recycling or repurposing after their initial use.?
• Introduce a robust waste sorting system: Implement designated bins catering to specific waste types, like recyclables and general waste.?

Recycling and disposal:?

• Collaborate with trustworthy recycling centres: Partner with local, transparent recycling facilities committed to responsible disposal.?

At Space, our waste management strategies aren't just about disposal—they're about revolutionising how we approach materials at every stage of a project by emphasising prevention, minimisation, reuse, and proper recycling. ?

We're not only mitigating environmental harm, but also fostering significant savings and pioneering a more sustainable path for the fit-out industry. ?
