To identify the best practices promoting, and the perceived barriers hindering the management of
waste reduction on refurbishment/renovation projects specifically in Hong Kong
* 7 best practices include:
App!
+ On-site temporary reuse of demolition waste
elective demolition when possible
+ Use two separate dumping skips for sorting of inert and non-insert waste
+ Place clear instructions in front of dumping skips in order to remind workers
+ Phase dumping to perform on-site sorting in restricted sites
+ Repair and making good as fa
possible
+ Sell secondhand furniture and elect
appliances
