Description
Summary:The generation of construction and demolition (C&D) waste from infrastructure, and building and housing activity across Australia is increasing, leading to C&D waste management becoming a high priority for federal, state, territory and local governments, private industry and the general public. In response to industry and public concerns related to unsustainable C&D waste management, this project aimed to enhance understanding of the operation and capacity of end-markets for C&D waste recyclables in Australian jurisdictions. This understanding involves the integration of circular economy principles and a cradle-to-cradle approach into C&D waste management systems in the Australian context.
