A brief description of programs, policies, infrastructure investments, outreach efforts, and/or other factors that contribute to the diversion rate for construction and demolition waste:
All new projects are LEED certified, and minimally follow rates associated with the standards for recycling and reuse. A review of available information showed that, possibly due to high landfill/ incineration fees, recycling rates on retrocomissioning projects are running close to 95%. Averaging over the projects for which information was attainable yielded a 92.36% landfill diversion rate.
