Plasterboard waste costs the construction industry around £50 million a year in raw material and waste disposal costs alone. This Guide presents a five-step continual improvement approach to help you develop a strategy to prevent and reduce plasterboard waste at your site. A poster that accompanies the Guide describes a number of potential opportunities for improvement. Both the Guide and poster are only available as PDFs.
