The European construction industry not only builds and maintains essential infrastructure but also generates substantial waste. Construction and demolition waste (CDW) represent approximately 35% of all EU waste, making it one of the most significant waste streams. Effective waste management practices are essential to reduce this impact, promote the circular economy, and help reach EU broader sustainability targets.
EBC supports viable initiatives for reused and recycled materials and backs EU programs that improve waste management, demolition practices, and resource efficiency in construction. EBC is dedicated to helping SMEs implement sustainable waste management solutions that reduce environmental impact at every stage of the building lifecycle and contribute to the EU’s broader circular economy objectives.
