Institution of Civil Engineers launches Demolition Protocol

Originally launched in 2003, the Demolition Protocol is an effective decision making tool for cost and environmental management of demolition and construction projects.

The Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) Demolition Protocol 2008 has been launched by Nigel Mattravers, ICE waste panel chair and Brian Menzies, project lead.

The Protocol will aid industry in attaining the government’s 2012 target for a 50% reduction in construction and demolition waste going to landfill and the EU Waste Framework Directive target for 2020, which calls for a 70% increase in the re-use, recycling and other material recovery of non-hazardous construction and demolition waste.

The Demolition Protocol was initially developed by ICE’s Resource Sustainability Initiative, with funding provided from landfill tax credits and ICE’s Research and Development fund.
