The appointed contractor shall work to the following general design principles: - support the transition to a more circular economy - forecast likely waste streams - reduce materials wasted in construction - reduce the proportion of waste that is sent to landfill - reduce materials used in construction - increase the use of recovered materials, materials with above-average levels of recycled and re-used content including reclaimed and redeployed materials (SC Ref:681848)",
