About this listen
The average new home in Australia wastes over $19,000 in building materials. And over the next five years, the industry could dump up to $64 billion worth of unused product.
In this episode, we unpack the Australia’s Waste[d] Opportunity 2025 report — and what it means for residential builders.
Az walks through the findings, from over-ordering and damaged goods to the illusion of recycling and the true business case for waste reduction. If you’re a builder looking to sharpen your operations, run cleaner sites, and protect your margins — this is 10 minutes well spent.
Key topics:
- The top materials being wasted
- How much waste you’re likely generating per job
- Why recycling stats don’t tell the full story
- 6 practical steps to cut waste and lift your margins
A clean site isn’t just a nice-to-have. It’s a competitive edge.
Listen now — and start turning your bin into better margins.
