The Traceability of Construction and Demolition Waste in Flanders via Blockchain Technology: A Match Made in Heaven?
The construction sector plays a crucial role in the transition to a circular economy and a more sustainable society. With this objective in mind, Flanders-the Dutch speaking part of Belgium-makes use of a traceability procedure for construction and demolition waste in order to guarantee that value can be derived from downstream waste processing activities.
