”Assesment of initiatives to prevent waste from building <strong>and</strong> construction sectors”<br />

http://www.norden.org/en/publications/publikationer/2011-533<br />

“The present report has identified <strong>and</strong> evaluated waste prevention initiatives for the<br />

building <strong>and</strong> construction sector. In total 32 initiatives have been identified <strong>and</strong> grouped<br />

into seven categories. The categories are:<br />

Reuse of building materials<br />

Information <strong>and</strong> awareness campaign<br />

<strong>Waste</strong> prevention guidelines<br />

Voluntary agreements<br />

Identification of hazardous substances<br />

Tools for registration of non-hazardous building materials<br />

Certification schemes<br />

Seven case studies, one from each category, have been described <strong>and</strong> assessed<br />

individually. The study has shown that waste prevention measures only to a<br />

limited extent appear to be an integrated part of the building <strong>and</strong> construction<br />

sector.<br />

Most of the activities named waste prevention by the stakeholders are in fact<br />

established in order to reduce l<strong>and</strong>filling.<br />

The main focuses of the activities identified by this study are related to<br />

recycling, whereas actual waste prevention is a minor part of the initiatives<br />

only.” (s. 9)<br />
