Recycling potential in building energy renovation: A prospective study of the Dutch residential building stock up to 2050

Building energy and construction and demolition waste (CDW) are highly relevant but intertwined issues for the transition towards a carbon-neutral and circular built environment. Ongoing energy renovation uses an increasing number of emerging materials that pose a challenge for recycling. As a response, a novel technological system has been proposed to recycle CDW (including insulation mineral wool and lightweight concrete) for the manufacture of prefabricated concrete elements (PCEs) for use as façades for new (PCE-new) and retrofitting existing (PCE-refurbs) buildings. To explore how this no... Mehr ...
