DEAR READER
As D&Ri celebrates its 25th anniversary, it’s a good moment to think about the progress we’re making in demolition and recycling, particularly in sustainability. At the start of the year, many of us set goals – whether it’s cutting down waste, improving recycling, or using more eco-friendly practices. These goals are helping shape the future of our industry in practical, impactful ways.
But sustainability in demolition and recycling isn’t just about materials and resources; it’s also about keeping up the energy, focus, and determination that push us forward. Every project, with all its challenges and deadlines, gives us the chance to stay sharp and keep moving toward our bigger goals for a cleaner, more efficient industry.
Yes, there are plenty of pressures – tight schedules, high expectations – but these also show how capable we are. Every time we solve a problem or overcome a challenge, we’re building something better. And by taking the time to reflect and recharge, we’re not just keeping the work going – we’re making sure we can keep thriving.
So, as you go through this issue of D&Ri, I hope you find a few ideas or perspectives that help you feel recharged – whether it’s tweaking how things are done, looking at new innovations, or just taking a minute to appreciate what you’ve achieved so far.
Small adjustments today can make a real difference as we keep pushing for a more sustainable and efficient future.
Warm regards,
