RE: S.C.R. No. 220
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2024
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Energy & Environmental Protection, to which
was referred S.C.R. No. 220 entitled:
“SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION URGING THE HAWAII CONSTRUCTION
INDUSTRY TO INCREASE THE RECYCLING OF CONSTRUCTION AND
DEMOLITION DEBRIS AND TO EXPAND THE USAGE OF RECYCLED
CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS TO THE GREATEST EXTENT POSSIBLE,”
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to urge the Hawaii
construction industry to increase the recycling of construction
and demolition debris and to expand the usage of recycled
construction materials to the greatest extent possible.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure
from two individuals.
Your Committee finds that many of the State’s landfills are
reaching capacity or expected to close within the next twenty
years. Your Committee further finds that increased recycling of
construction and demolition debris would help divert significant
amounts of waste from entering the State’s landfills. This
measure urges the Hawaii construction industry to increase the
recycling of construction and demolition debris and to expand the
usage of recycled construction materials to the greatest extent
possible.
