Tiivistelmä
The goal of this thesis was to find potential ways of reducing the environmental impact of construction and demolition waste(CDW)throughout optimized recycling strategies and planned use and reuse of CDW throughout its entire lifecycle.
What was done to find potential ways to reduce the environmental impact of CDW?
The thesis found five ways to reduce the environmental impact of CDW in the various phases of construction: design for disassembly on the design phase, materials passports on the construction phase, high-grade products with high recycled content on the material production phase, extension of service life during the exploitation phase and selective demolition on the end-of-life phase. Their benefits and difficulties were discussed. The thesis can be used as an information package when planning for reducing the environmental impact of CDW.
