Construction and demolition waste (CDW) is one of the heaviest and most voluminous waste streams generated. It accounts for approximately 25% - 30% of all waste generated in the EU. CDW has been identified as a priority waste stream by the European Union. There is a high potential for recycling and re-use of CDW since some of its components have a high resource value. In particular, there is a re-use market for aggregates derived from CDW waste in roads, drainage, and other construction projects.
