TOPIC OF THE CONFERENCE
Growing prosperity leads to the extraction and use of more resources and to the production of more waste. The EU is committed to implement the principles of the waste hierarchy, which implies the prevention of waste, its reuse and recycling where it is not prevented, and its energy recovery as sub-optimal option. This calls for eco-innovative solutions and resource-efficient products, processes and services, and their uptake which will be facilitated by new sustainable lifestyles and consumption behaviour.
The aim of the conference is to generate discussions among actors and stakeholders, from the construction and demolition sector. Including,legislators and academics in order to advance the understanding of complex challenges relevant to these sectors, and facilitate the co-creation of solutions to these challenges by thinking together.
