Industrial development

Industrial development refers to any business dealing with the manufacturing of goods.

Designing for waste and recycling management in industrial development is often overlooked. Good design will support efficient management of a development.

If essential aspects such as facilities for landfill waste, recycling and organics are overlooked or undervalued, they can cause inconvenience and irritation to the occupants for the lifetime of the building. A small amount of planning at the design stage can prevent a great deal of difficulty for tenants, cleaners, customers, building managers and a stream of contractors through the life of the building.

Additionally, effective waste systems result in better sorting, and this in turn lowers the cost of waste disposal. In New South Wales, every tonne of waste sent to landfill is charged a significant levy, which increases annually.
