Around 60% of all landfill waste in the UK comes from construction and demolition. The Wood Store rescues surplus timber from contractors across Sussex to restore, re-use and sell on at their fabulous shop in Brighton. They're an award winning not-for-profit organisation and the National Community Wood Recycling Project was modelled on these guys!
Steve tells us about all the great work they do, we discuss the problem with pallets, he shares tips on how we can choose our materials and contractors more sustainably and we learn more about their amazing volunteers.
