Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste production equates to a large amount of carbon emissions that require all sectors of the economy, to a greater or lesser extent, to contribute to its reduction. The development and implementation of innovative and effective C&D waste management solutions will affect the contribution that waste management as a whole makes to climate change.
