Sir:
Your Committee on Agriculture and Environment, to which was
referred S.R. No. 196 entitled:
"SENATE 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 and intent of this measure is to urge Hawaii's
construction industry to:
(1) Increase the recycling of construction and demolition
debris to the greatest extent possible; and
(2) Expand the usage of recycled construction materials to
the greatest extent possible.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure
from the Environmental Caucus of the Democratic Party of Hawai‘i.
Your Committee finds that many landfills in the State that
accept construction and demolition debris are expected to reach
maximum capacity within the next decade. Your Committee further
finds that the recycling of construction waste and the reuse of
recycled construction material diverts and reduces tons of waste
to local landfills. The practices urged in this measure are a
