Revolutionising recycling
Leveraging his wealth of experience tackling recycling projects worldwide , Sebastian offers insights into what he sees as the most significant obstacles to sustainability in the construction industry . “ There is a broad mix of barriers to increasing the level of recycling practices in the industry , ranging from regulatory and political considerations to attitudes and know-how within the field . To encourage the wider adoption of recycling , it is vital for all parts of the value chain to contribute more . This begins with ensuring that each construction site is established
with a mindset focused on maximising opportunities for re-use or recycling .
“ Additionally , different waste fractions should be segregated early on and kept as environmentally clean as possible . Site operators would also benefit from proper training , and the integration of collection services should be seamless to ensure an efficient construction flow on-site . As active participants in the recycling industry , we must then ensure that we have the appropriate sites and logistics in place to handle all collected waste in the best possible way , thereby facilitating the transformation of waste into new materials or products ,” he concludes .
Under Sebastian ’ s visionary leadership , Sortera is poised to continue revolutionising the recycling process , bringing communities closer to achieving a true circular economy . ■
