Sammendrag
Increasing the reuse potential of construction and demolition waste (CDW) in building industries is one of the main focus of several projects funded by European Union. One such example is DeConcrete which is exclusively addressing the issues in the Arctic region and to improve the co-operation between countries under Kolarctic CBC (cross border co-operation). The project is planned based on the current scenario of CDW handling in this region, and ways to improve the quality applications of CDW in construction industries other than backfilling/ earth applications. The main objective is to eradicate the linear model, create a circular economy in construction business, and increase interconnection between building industry and CDW management businesses in the Arctic. This starts with exploring the demolition practices, processing of the material, identifying the reuse potential, treatment methods to improve the quality of recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) and the waste management strategy. Any project would not be successful without the practical implementation of the finding in industrial platform. DeConcrete gives importance to the ripple effect of the discoveries from the project in construction industries through the network of industrial partners and research organizations.
