CONSTRUCTION, DEMOLITION, AND RENOVATION WASTE

Abstract

Increased construction and demolition activities have led to a rise in construction and demolition waste. Construction waste is generated during the construction, adaptation, and demolition processes. Its quantities depend on the materials used, construction techniques, and types of projects. In Serbia, the management of such waste is regulated by specific legislation. This paper provides a classification of construction waste according to the European waste catalog and describes its generation, management, and the possibilities for estimating waste before the commencement of construction work. The possibilities and main obstacles to recycling this waste are also described.
