In general, Construction and Demolition Waste (CDW) are debris generated in construction, rehabilitation, repair, or demolition works. Obviously, CDW generation depends on the growth and development of the building sector, and thus it is associated with the economic growth of the country. Despite these wastes can be easily recycled, Europe has a CDW recycling rate around 50%. This percentage is far from achieving the objectives set by the European Directive for the year 2020, i.e. recycle at least 70% (by weight) of waste generated. Therefore, from a life cycle perspective, it is necessary to reduce the environmental impact of buildings and promote circular economy criteria. Among these criteria are: reducing resources such as raw materials, replacing raw materials with high environmental impact (cement, plastics, steel, etc) by recycled materials and using buildings as a digester of CDW.
