“…To the best of the authors' knowledge, the first paper that suggested an integration of all three sustainability pillars in waste management systems was written by Taelman et al in 2020 [54]. In addition to an assessment framework, they developed a set of impact categories and indicators to address both the global and local impacts of a waste management system in five areas (prosperity, human well-being, human and ecosystem health and national resources).…”

Circular Economy in Construction and Demolition Waste Management in the Western Balkans: A Sustainability Assessment Framework

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Population growth, consumerism and linear (take-make-dispose) economy models have been piling up waste for decades. The construction industry is also based primarily on linear economy models, but the good news is that most of the waste can be re-used or recycled. So far, numerous models for managing construction and demolition waste in a sustainable way have been developed, but only a few models have included circular economy approaches. The main objective of this study is to propose an integrated framework for the sustainability assessment of CDW management. Apart from the economic, environmental and social aspects of sustainability, this model also includes circular economy principles. The proposed framework is based on the integration of existing methods: bottom-up materials stock approximation; cost–benefit analysis for criteria calculation; and scenario and multi-criteria decision-making analysis for sustainability. It is suggested that the European average recovery rates should be used for future scenario development. With higher re-use and recycling rates, the potential for the circularity of the recovered waste grows. In an effort to increase circularity in the region, particular attention was devoted to customize the framework and examine its potential for use in the Western Balkan countries. The framework may also be useful in countries with immature construction and demolition waste management.

“…Some of the EISs focussing on the development of tools to help schools and households prevent food waste often applied to behavioural aspects. While it proved difficult to validate these aspects in a sustainability analysis (Taelman et al, 2019b) due to their intrinsic quantification complexity, they were considered important by the stakeholders and as such documented in the GDSE. The same applied to some of the EIS creating a favourable environment to accelerate the transition to a circular economy or to increasing social cohesion in the city.…”

In 2016, the Flemish Government adopted the transversal policy paper “Vision 2050, a long term strategy for Flanders”. It has set the ambition for Flanders for 2050 and has paved the way for a transition to a Circular Economy. It provided new objectives and confirmed the ambition to further reduce the total amount of (residual) waste by closing the loop and reducing the use of primary resources. More than before, prevention and reuse have been an integral part of materials management. The impact of waste behaviour needs to be measured against environmental and social priorities. In this context, the REPAiR project developed a multi-stakeholder and interdisciplinary methodology. Building on this methodology, this paper explores how governance in Flanders and Ghent has been affected by this transition and draws lessons to address these challenges.

“…but could be an useful instrument also for specific phases of the life cycle, such as that of WM. The latter comprises everything that happens when the product becomes waste, in order to evaluate the impacts of its disposal (Turconi et al, 2011;Brogaard and Christensen, 2016;Taelman et al, 2019).…”

“…As regards the quantitative information related to the individual flows, REPAiR Projects performs a LCA for the CDW produced in the Focus Area and has officially received from the Campania regional agency for environmental protection (in Italian "Agenzia Regionale per la Protezione Ambientale in Campania" -ARPAC) data related to CDW flow according to the year 2015 (Tonini et al, 2019). For the present application, the percentage considered for the flow produced in the Focus Area is basically maintained and it is considered representative of an average CDW flow.…”

Urban ecosystems, in their complexity, like living organisms, have their own metabolism, whose functioning is linked to the presence of input and output streams. These metabolic flows define the interconnection of different life cycle phases and determine the presence of wasted landscapes, i.e. portion of territory waiting for the activation of regeneration actions. The present paper focuses on the abandoned industrial areas that characterize a portion of the Metropolitan Area of Naples, defining a spatial identification methodology and connecting them to the production of Construction and Demolition Waste, in a multi-scale perspective.
