Modular construction has the potential to make the construction industry more sustainable by maximizing material efficiency and reducing waste.
Fremont, CA: Construction waste accounts for about 40 percent of landfill waste, and many companies are working hard to create waste reduction or repurposing strategies. Consider that this statistic only applies to construction, whereas other businesses are constantly filling landfills. Many organizations have been compelled to join the zero-waste movement as a result of this. Zero waste is not just about waste that ends up in landfills; the concept encompasses internal adjustments that eliminate waste across the entire supply chain.
In terms of waste reduction, the modular building industry has grabbed the lead. Because to off-site building, modular construction has been shown to reduce waste by up to 90 percent.
