Looking for a list of approved green gear for your latest sustainable project? More than 300 specifications for recycled construction products are will soon be available from the National Green Specification website (www.greenspec.co.uk), as part of a two-year, DTI-funded project being carried out by BRE in partnership with ASWS.
The project will also provide workmanship clauses for waste management activities on construction and demolition sites. The specifications and clauses will help designers and specifiers to make informed choices in terms of the protection of the environment, material resources, embodied energy, life expectancy and durability.

Recycled product manufacturers are currently being invited to provide information on their products, which will in turn be advertised on the National Green Specification (NGS) website. A web page will be produced for each product and will contain an image and brief summary, a link to downloadable specifications, guidance notes, literature and links to the manufacturer and suppliers. Free advertising - what more could you want?

This free service is part of a wider NGS programme that aims to create and sustain a ready-made specification for green products and methods of construction and is primarily intended for use by architects, engineers, manufacturers, suppliers, contractors and subcontractors, self-builders, clients, and financiers.
