Circular Economy

  • UEPG supports the concept of circular economy and the

use of the waste hierarchy, including recycling where

technically, environmentally and economically feasible.

  • UEPG has actively contributed to the development of the EU

Construction and Demolition Waste Management Protocol which was published in November 2016

  • UEPG officially endorsed the EU Construction and

Demolition Waste Management Protocol which

constitutes a significant contribution to the efforts towards an EU Circular Economy Model and supports

the European Commission in promoting its application.

  • The available amount of recycled aggregates
  • f the appropriate quality, would not allow

for the complete substitution of natural

aggregates.

  • Even with 100% recycling of all construction

and demolition waste, it would cover only 12 to

20% of the current total demand of aggregates.

I n practice….

  • Promote optimal construction design to ensure

longest possible lifespan, to minimise initial material use, to have a built-in adaptability and minimal end-

  • f-life demolition;
  • Make sure that natural and recycled aggregates

are subject to the same environmental and

quality criteria in their respective applications

  • Promote the collation of accurate statistics to

show the availability of recycled aggregates

to benchmark the improvements of use made by individual Member States

  • Transfer of knowledge and exchange of good

practice examples

Objectives

SLIDE 9

7 December 2017

  • Work with the political and regulatory bodies to determine what

kind of measures to promote recycled aggregates would work best in each Member State.

  • To support Member States in their ambitions to use more

recycled aggregates in appropriate applications or to maintain higher recycling rates.

  • This implies the promotion of recycled aggregates where

economically, environmentally and technically feasible

respecting the given technical standards.

  • This includes also the education of customers on the benefits of

using recycled materials and changing the public perception.

Necessities to go forward
