LEED Green Associate (LEED GA) — Question 25

Which strategy can be used to reduce the amount of construction waste?

Answer options

• A. Encourage recycling
• B. Specify regional materials
• C. Increase the use of recycled content
• D. Institute an off-site composting program

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Encouraging recycling is effective in reducing construction waste as it promotes the reuse of materials, thus diverting them from landfills. While specifying regional materials, increasing recycled content, and implementing composting programs can also be beneficial, they do not directly address the immediate need to reduce waste as effectively as recycling does.
