At RAK Properties, we are committed to optimizing the use of materials, reducing waste, and maximizing value from resources across their life cycle.
Material Resource efficiency programs that are currently in place:
Recycled Materials:
- Structural steel contains at least 25% post-consumer recycled content.
- Reinforcing or stressing steel contains a minimum of 90% post-consumer recycled content.
- Concrete incorporates supplementary recycled cementitious materials such as fly ash, slag, and recycled aggregates.
Certified Timber:
- At least 50% of the wood materials, including temporary construction timber, are sourced from certified suppliers with chain-of-custody credentials, such as FSC.
Regional Materials:
- At least 20% of building materials (by cost) are sourced from manufacturing or assembly facilities within 500 km of the project site, supporting local economies and reducing transport emissions.
Product Declarations:
- We prioritize materials accompanied by Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and Health Product Declarations (HPDs), ensuring transparency on environmental and health impacts.
Construction Waste Management:
- All construction sites follow a Construction and Demolition Waste Management Plan, diverting a minimum of 50% of waste from landfill through recycling and reuse
