The Waste & Resources Action Programme has launched a new online tool, which will support the construction industry to increase recycled content in building work and meet minimum requirements.
The searchable Recycled Product Guide documents more than 150 products across 35 common product categories which are available with higher levels of recycled content for use in construction, regeneration and refurbishment projects.
This new tool presents up-to-date product descriptions and supplier details. As well as listing product suppliers, each entry includes details on the product’s percentage of recycled content, its life expectancy and additional information such as the recycled materials used. The database can be accessed via http://rcproducts.wrap.org.uk/.
Because of constant flow of new products, the directory is continually updated to reflect the most current products available.
Those looking to put forward recycled products for inclusion in the guide or looking to find out more can visit www.wrap.org.uk/construction or call 0808 100 2040.
