Main drivers in Europe:
• EU Waste Framework Directive
• Quality and control measures of the EU Landfill Directive
EU C&D Legal Framework
There is no specific legislation on CDW in EU level
 WFD – 70% recycling of CDW until 2020
 Main waste management principles
National legislation and technical standards
• Legislative instruments (Contractor/generator
responsible principle, obligation to use cdw recycled
products, ban for landfilling)
• Economic instruments (landfill tax, env. tax for raw
material)
• Voluntary agreement between government, business and
construction industry
Estimated ranges of C&D Recycling
• > 70 % recycling: Austria, Denmark, Estonia,
Germany, Ireland, the UK and the Netherlands
• 60 - 70 % recycling: Belgium, and Lithuania
• 40 - 60 % recycling: France, Latvia, Luxembourg and
Slovenia

Waste Management Act
Introduction of the landfill tax:
The aim of the landfill tax is to :
• reduce the amount of waste going to landfill
• extending the life-time of the expensive facilities such
as landfills
• increase quantities of recycled and recovered waste
• promote alternative methods
Waste Management Act
The amount of the LANDFILL TAX by the years is as follow:
For municipal waste:
for 2011 – 1.5 €./t.
for 2012 – 4.5 €./t.
for 2013 – 7.5 €./t.
for 2014 – 17.5 €/t..
For construction and demolition waste:
for 2011 – 0.25 €./t.
for 2012 – 0.75 €./t.
for 2013 – 7.5 €./t.
for 2014 – 17.5 €./t.
For municipal landfills which do not meet the requirements of
legislation the amount of the landfill tax will be double
Ordinance on cdw management
AIMS
Ordinance on cdw management
THE SCOPE
1. preventing and reducing air pollution, water and soil and
reducing the risk to human health and the environment as a result
of treatment and transportation of CDW and use of products
derived from recycling of CDW
2. introduction and implementation of environmentally sound
management and waste management control;
3. introduction of end of waste status and environmental
requirements to be met by products derived from recycling CDW;
4. obligations for relevant entities related to the CDW
management.
OBLIGATIONS - Regarding to the WFD the ORDINANCE
sets a target of 70% of preparation for re-use, recycling, and other
forms of material recovery of C&D waste, including backfilling until
2020.
Ordinance on cdw management
BARRIERS AND DRIVERS TOWARDS THE 70% TARGET
 Economic barriers: High availability and low cost of raw
materials
•The main corresponding policy option to overcome this is making
landfilling of waste unattractive, by introducing a ban or high levies
on landfilling
 Cultural barriers: Misconception of the quality of recycled
products
•Turning waste into a valuable raw material: this can be achieved
through quality certification of secondary raw material from C&D
waste
•Communicating on the benefits of secondary raw material
•Development of end-of-waste criteria
•Green Public Procurement (GPP)
 Technical barriers: ineffective sorting and contamination of the
waste flow
•Encourage the sorting of C&D waste “at source”
•Selective demolition / controlled deconstruction

Treatment of CDW
RECOVERY AND RECYCLING OPTIONS
 CONCRETE
 Applications in the construction sector :Buildings, roads, infrastructure
 Treatment options:
. -landfill ,
- recycling into aggregates for road construction or backfilling,
- recycling into aggregates for concrete production,
-re-use of precast elements (concrete blocks)
 BRICKS, TILES AND CERAMIC
 Applications in the construction sector :
- Brick: masonry construction especially for building and
- Tile: covering of roofs, floors and walls \
 Treatment options :
-landfill ,
- recycling (replaces sand, gravel, stones, rocks e.g. to fill roads, to
produce tennis sand, to serve as aggregate in concrete) ,
-re-use
RECOVERY AND RECYCLING OPTIONS
 ASPHALT
 Applications in the construction sector : Pavement for road construction
. and maintenance
 Treatment options :
- landfill,
- recycling in a stationary plan,
- in-situ, recycling, material recovery
 WOOD
 Applications in the construction sector :Roof structure, building
framework, floors, doors, etc.
 Treatment options :
- landfill
- recycling into derived timber products,
- energy recovery
RECOVERY AND RECYCLING OPTIONS
 GYPSUM
 Applications in the construction sector : Buildings
. Treatment options :
- landfill
- recycling into new plasterboards (In substitution of natural gypsum or
In substitution of synthetic gypsum)
HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES PRESENT IN C&D WASTE
 Ozone depleting substances (ODS)
- Applications in the construction sector :Blowing agent for plastic
insulating material in buildings
- Treatment options : landfill, incineration, removal of ODS and recycling
or re-use of other materials
RECOVERY AND RECYCLING OPTIONS
 Hazardous substances: asbestos, lead based paints (LBP), phenols,
Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCB) and Polycyclic Aromatic
.
Hydrocarbons (PAH)
 LBP (LEAD BASED PAINTS)
- Treatment options : Lead was added to paint as pigment but also added
to speed drying, increase durability, retain a fresh appearance and resist
moisture that causes corrosion.
 PHENOLS
-
Treatment options : Treated wood and insulation panels containing
phenol can be treated by removing the contaminated surface area and then
recycled by reintroducing them in the manufacturing process. Other phenol
contaminated C&D waste is disposed of in landfills.
RECOVERY AND RECYCLING OPTIONS
 PCB (POLYCHLORINATED BIPHENYLS )
.- Treatment options : Disposal of waste products containing PCBs include:
Decontamination i.e. decolouration, which is the treatment for the
chemical decomposition of chlorine molecules ; C&D waste
contaminated with PCBs can also be incinerated (with special flue gas
treatment); storage
 PAH (POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS)
- Treatment options : Such waste are generally mixed with other products
during the demolition step and landfilled.
PAH contaminated C&D waste are disposed of in hazardous waste landfills.
Leachate from landfills may contain PAH and are treated to avoid
contamination.
C&D waste contaminated with PAH can also be incinerated (with special
flue gas treatment).
