Cities represent the privileged place to implement new circular economy models based on the enhancement of materials and assets and on the extension of their life cycle.

Cities with their high population consume large quantities of resources and materials, and among these, construction plays a leading role.

In Italy, the production of construction waste, ie aggregates from the construction and demolition sector, with about 50,000 tons per year is the most relevant type of special non-hazardous waste. Furthermore, this category of waste is among the most impacting also for absorbed energy and CO2 released during the production phase. It therefore becomes extremely important to be able to reuse and recover, without necessarily subcycling, all this material that our cities are full of.
The webinar aims, in the spirit of the objectives and activities of the ICESP platform, to disseminate good circular economy practices, applied to the construction and demolition waste sector and considering the urban segment of the circular economy, present in our area, stimulating
a comparison and an open debate among the participants, who are invited to bring their own experience on the topic dealt with. The webinar also aims to bring out the enabling factors and the limits that the national and local context exerts on the implementation of these practices, and on their transferability and replicability.
