Have your say in reducing landfill in Australia.
Samples in the building industry contribute to the hidden waste stream. However, with effective waste management practices, innovative solutions, and adherence to regulations, the impact of this waste can be mitigated. By promoting recycling, reuse, and sustainable construction practices, the industry can move towards a more environmentally friendly and resource-efficient future.
Our processes have moved beyond sample recovery. By purchasing our pilot Archive (sample) box you will be part of the last stage of our research process. This will be part of our final documentation to record the impacts samples create across the specification process.

FAQ
What can I put in the LOUD sample box?
Various samples can be placed into this return box. We request your assistance in identifying each sample in the box and information assoicated with yoru archive return. Below is an example of 64 products of current materails still in circulation and deleted lines ready for recycling.
What happens to my samples?
All samples are sorted and returned to the manufacturers for recirculation or placed into appropriate recycling programs, reducing the number of items ending up in landfill.
Why support LOUD's sample collection process?
Each recovered sample helps to lessen the impact of this concealed waste stream annually.
LOUD's research has indicated that 80% of sales calls to collect samples result in a sales person not engaging with a specifier. This led to the creation of a system to help salespeople allocate more time to engage at the design stage and construction.
An approach to reduce waste and enhance productivity in technical discussions is what we aim to build. Our role is not to remove sales force from their duties but help enhance the digital capabilities of products and enhance resource management.
