Build sector
The construction industry is responsible for a quarter of all waste in the Netherlands. In addition, the industry often relies on materials that deplete scarce resources, such as concrete, or on products that are harmful to nature, like chemical coatings. As a result, biodiversity in the Netherlands has been declining for a century, with current levels only 15% of what they once were.
