They get cut down, tossed in a skip, and sent to landfill. You paid for them. You paid to dispose of them. And they did nothing.
I wanted to show how this works without boring everyone to death, so I used TimTams as my prop.
The logic is the same whether it's a chocolate biscuit or a 2400 x 1200 sheet. Buy standard sizes and you're either cutting down and creating waste or joining sheets and creating extra labour. Either way, you're paying for something that doesn't end up in the building.
With saveBOARD, a large proportion of our clients order custom cut sheets at the same $/m2 rate. Exactly the size they need. Nothing cut off. Nothing joined. No waste going to landfill.
The clients who figure this out don't go back to standard sizing. The maths is obvious once you see it.
(The TimTams were not wasted. That part I can confirm.)
