Wates worked with subcontractors to re-use materials and cut waste

Wates and the rest of the supply chain worked to re-use kitchen refurbishment materials.

Key points:


• Finding ways of reducing waste in kitchen refurbishment without increasing cost
• Waste generated from kitchen refurbishment is at present 70% recyclable, 30% going to landfill
• By 2007 expected to reduce waste to landfill to 10% as a direct result of responsible planning of the supply and re-cycle chain.
