FAQ

How to handle C&D waste?

  • C&D waste is one of the largest waste streams in the world. Majority of this waste is inert: easy to divert from landfill

  • Today: recycling of construction waste is quite developed, but reuse or upcycling of components in building projects still rather immature

How to implement it in building design? 

  • Design for disassembly: ensure building components can be removed without damaging the component itself nor the rest of the building. Components can be reused or recycled.

  • Major barriers: disconnection between design stage and end-of-life stage (several decades) & traceability of raw materials, especially hazardous substances
