The LOUD initiative has earned multiple industry accolades for its unwavering commitment to reducing hidden waste streams in the building sector.
We invite everyone to join this forward-thinking movement, as we spark a new era of leadership and inspire the next generation to drive meaningful change through smarter specification and a comprehensive approach to sample recovery.
LOUD has created a solution to recover end-of-use waste samples to ensure they don’t end up in landfill
Samples are essential in the construction and design process, but what happens when they are no longer needed?
As a supplier, are you aware of the impact sample circulation and production costs have on your annual bottom line?
For the specifier did you know discarding samples wastes embodied energy, which could be preserved by recirculating them instead of having manufacturers remake them.
Let's start a circular economy for sample rejuvenation.

Have your say in reducing landfill in Australia.
Samples in the building industry contribute to the hidden waste stream. However, with effective waste management practices, innovative solutions, and adherence to regulations, the impact of this waste can be mitigated.
By promoting recycling, reuse, and sustainable construction practices, the industry can move towards a more environmentally friendly and resource-efficient future. We request your assistance in identifying the issues surrounding this hidden waste stream on a national level.
