Video: Code for Sustainable Homes – Waste

This programme begins with an overview of the waste generated in the UK, the volume we produce, where it comes from and, ultimately, where it ends up.

Our guest, Ricardo Moreira of XCO2 Energy, runs through the key points of the category's three sections: household, construction and compostable waste.

During the programme Ricardo explains how credits can be earned in each of the sections, a discussion that includes the relevance of knowing how your local council recycles household waste, the importance of a site waste management plan and the size and number of bins you are expected to design into your development.
