Strategy description: Exchanging extra or surplus building products with another second-hand or new products, instead of sending those products to waste
Example: Exchanging old building products with other second-hand/new building products. For example, exchanging old products and materials with other second-hand ones through providers of second-hand building materials.
Advantages: Product exchange may constitute an opportunity to save costs spent in purchasing new products while avoiding waste development.
Disadvantages/challenges: Old products could be physically deteriorated in old buildings; therefore, their exchange might be impossible. Furthermore, the alignment between the exchanged products might be a complex process due to differences of materials and lack of information.
