SCR 220 Hawaii Senate · 2024 Regular Session

URGING THE HAWAII CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY TO INCREASE THE RECYCLING OF CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION DEBRIS AND TO EXPAND THE USAGE OF RECYCLED CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS TO THE GREATEST EXTENT POSSIBLE.

This Senate Concurrent Resolution urges the Hawaii construction industry to increase the recycling of construction and demolition debris and to use recycled materials as much as possible. The bill highlights that landfills across the state are nearing capacity and aims to reduce waste sent to these sites to protect nearby communities from environmental issues and traffic burdens. It does not create new laws or penalties but serves as a formal recommendation to industry leaders, with copies sent to major construction trade groups.
