Construction and Demolition Waste (CDW) represents 40% of the waste generated in the EU and its suboptimal management generates detrimental environmental effects. The goal of the study is to calculate, document and compare the environmental impacts of different treatment options for selected priority fractions of CDW. The assessment of the individual material fractions is done for both 2020 and 2050. The results in general come to the same conclusion, i.e. the environmental impacts follow the waste hierarchy, although with some exceptions. In terms of carbon savings, reuse of concrete waste is the pathway leading by far to the highest saving potential, followed by recycling of PVC, EPS-insulation and wood. The study also provides a techno-economic characterization of emerging and established technologies and processes for the management of CDW
