Construction and demolition waste consists approximately of one third waste generated
in the European Union. The recycling of this stream waste will provide ecological and sustainable
benefits. Recycled aggregates from construction and demolition waste are clearing a path into civil
constructions, as substitutes for natural aggregates. The possible applications of recycled aggregates
on infrastructure construction projects will depend on the quality of the recycled aggregates mainly.
This will be determined by the nature and the origin of the construction and demolition waste, and
the treatment system undergone. Hence, this work proposes recommendations for the handling of
construction and demolition waste in treatment plants.
