RSQUARE Recycles 570 Tons of Construction Waste in First Half of 2026, Cutting CO2 by 545 Tons
en.sedaily.comRSQUARE Design, a South Korean office and commercial space specialist, recycled 567.9 tons of interior construction waste in the first half of 2026, achieving a 100% recycling rate. Working with waste data platform Zeeguhada, the company diverted materials like wood, synthetic resins, tiles, and concrete from landfills, turning them into fuel or recycled aggregate. The effort cut CO2 emissions by about 545 tons, equivalent to the annual carbon absorption of 80,000 mature trees. The partnership uses a dedicated digital platform that tracks waste from collection to recycling, letting clients verify disposal results. Since early 2025, the two companies have recycled over 1,700 tons of interior waste. The project highlights a growing trend in South Korea's construction industry to manage waste data transparently as ESG requirements tighten. Small-scale construction waste under 5 tons, often a regulatory blind spot, is a key focus. RSQUARE's approach shows how operational streamlining can produce carbon and resource circulation benefits without explicit eco-branding. The company plans to continue advancing a waste management system that customers can trust, signaling potential for broader adoption across the sector.
