MRAMaterial Reclamation Audits.
A Material Reclamation Audit is a bespoke MI service aimed at being a more cost-effective survey focussing on components that are most likely to be reused and recycled.
What is an MRA?
Book an auditA Material Reclamation Audit is a bespoke Material Index service designed to be a more cost-effective survey, focusing specifically on components most likely to be reused and recycled. It maps materials scheduled for removal, assesses their condition, volume and reuse potential, and creates an actionable plan to divert them from landfill.
Rapid audits for maximum reuse.
A digital asset register is created on-site using the MI platform. A typical office floor can be completed in a few hours with instant access to results. This speed makes MRAs particularly suited to refurbishment projects with tight timeframes.
