Reclamation Led Approach to Demolition Guide
This report sets out the justification for reclamation, together with the specific steps to take a reclamation led approach to demolition. The key themes are audit, allowing sufficient time and space, clear communication and embedding these in the construction contract, plans and management. This is supported by fourteen case studies that set out the carbon and cost savings for taking this approach.

BedZED Construction Materials Report
This report describes the choices of construction materials on the Beddington Zero Energy Development completed in South London in 2002. It quantifies the environmental benefits of these choices and describes how the materials were sourced, specified and used.

Case Study on Reclaimed Doors
This study was produced for inclusion in a Building Research Establishment document for Envirowise summarising construction waste minimisation case studies and promoting good practice. It described a supply chain mechanism for large numbers of reclaimed Victorian panel doors that require stripping and repair. The study provides costs and practical advice.

Construction Material Impact Reduction Study
A study on the potential for reducing the impact of construction materials forming current policy research for BioRegional Development Group

Thames Gateway - A feasibility study for a major reclaimed materials enterprise
This report investigates the feasibility of widespread use of reclaimed materials in the construction and demolition (C&D) industry, with particular reference to the Thames Gateway. It discusses the capacity for growth in the reclaimed materials sector and the potential for a series of large-scale reclaimed materials facilities that may fuel it. The widespread use of reclaimed materials is considered to be one strategy for reducing the C&D industry’s environmental impact.

This work forms part of a larger Thames Gateway study by BioRegional Development Group and is funded by Shanks and DEFRA through the landfill tax credit scheme.
