Abstract

Construction and Demolition Waste (CDW) represents 40% of the waste generated in the EU and its suboptimal management generates detrimental environmental effects. The goal of the study was to calculate, document and compare the environmental impacts of different treatment options for selected priority fractions of CDW. The assessment of the single fractions was done for both 2020 and 2050. The results for the four fractions in general came to the same conclusion, i.e. the environmental impacts followed the waste hierarchy, although with some exceptions. Reuse of concrete waste is the pathway leading to the highest saving potential, followed by PVC, EPS-insulation and wood. The study also provides a detailed techno-economic characterization of emerging and established technologies and processes for the management of CDW.
