这些都是西方世界最先进的环保目标。但英国建筑业也需要解决其他可持续发展问题，特别是垃圾的负面影响。目前，英国建筑业每年产生1亿吨建筑垃圾，其中包括1300万吨未使用的材料，其中只有20%可以回收(Alwan et al.， 2017)。这些废物中的大多数最终被填埋，进一步污染了生物圈。Dadhich等人(2015)发现，英国绿色建筑委员会(UK Green Building Council)将建筑确定为排放最密集的行业之一，约占英国温室气体产量的50%。石膏板供应链是欧洲领先的建筑材料分销商和承包商之一，是英国建筑业最常用的产品。供应链中的不同干预措施可以减少温室气体排放。

These are the most advanced environmental goals in the Western world. But the UK construction industry also needs to address other sustainability issues, particularly the negative impact of waste. Currently, the UK construction industry produces 100m tonnes of construction waste a year, including 13m tonnes of unused materials, of which only 20 per cent can be recycled (Alwan et al., 2017). Most of this waste ends up in landfills, further polluting the biosphere. Dadhich et al. (2015) found that the UK Green Building Council identified buildings as one of the most emission-intensive industries, accounting for about 50 per cent of the UK's greenhouse gas production. The gypsum board supply chain is one of the leading suppliers and contractors of building materials in Europe and is the most commonly used product in the UK construction industry. Different interventions in the supply chain can reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

These are the most advanced environmental goals in the western world. But the UK construction industry also needs to address other sustainability issues, especially the negative impact of waste. At present, the UK construction industry generates 100 million tons of construction waste every year, including 13 million tons of unused materials, of which only 20% can be recycled (Alwan et al., 2017). Most of these wastes end up in landfills, further polluting the biosphere. The Green Building Council and others will determine that the UK's green building industry accounts for about 50% of greenhouse gas emissions in 2015.
