How one NYC construction company saved 96% of its waste from the landfill
Construction sends millions of tons of waste to landfills every year. CNY Group is trying to recycle it instead.
The construction industry generates a lot of waste. Construction and demolition create more than 600 million tons of waste debris every year in the U.S., according to Environmental Protection Agency figures from 2018. That’s twice as much as the municipal waste collected from homes and businesses in cities.
