SmartWaste by BRE - the UK construction benchmark report 2026 is now live. Ten years of data. 4,791 projects. £34bn of construction work. 41 benchmarks across waste, energy and water performance. One finding stands out. We have almost eliminated waste to landfill, with median diversion now at 99.5%. Yet over the same decade, the waste produced per 100m² of floor area has risen by more than 10%. The industry is getting better at diverting waste and worse at avoiding it. See how your own projects compare. The full report is free to download, link below: UK Construction Benchmarks 2026
