The plastic film calculator allows you to estimate the amount of plastic film waste generated in a new apartment building project. Plastic film is usually generated from product packaging and construction site protection.
By entering the gross area of your project and the number of apartments below, you will receive an estimate of the total amount of plastic film waste and its distribution by work stage and time of day at the construction site.
The plastic film calculator can be used to model the amount of plastic film waste in a construction project.
The plastic film calculator is a calculation tool developed by Aalto University that can be used to estimate the amount of plastic film waste in an apartment building project based on basic project information.
