Özet
Construction and demolition waste (CDW) has been globally recognized as one of the most challenging waste streams, while simultaneously offering significant potential for valorization as secondary material resource. To effectively utilize these sources in their end-of-life stage, systematic characterization and robust management strategies are essential. In this context, this study comparatively evaluates the current state of CDW management approaches across the selected EU member states (Cyprus, Estonia, Greece, Latvia, Romania, and Slovenia), Switzerland, and Türkiye, with the objective of supporting the development of CDW material passport systems. The study includes characterization of the CDW streams, analysis of waste statistics and identification of good management practices within these countries, to develop realistic baselines for secondary material indicators at an international level. Furthermore, emergency action plans implemented during uncontrolled demolition scenarios, including natural disasters, are benchmarked to identify the operational gaps between standard waste management procedures and crisis response mechanisms. Consequently, the study highlights the urgent need to develop specialized management frameworks that prioritize each component of CDW, even when present in a mixed state, enabling their treatment as valuable secondary resources rather than a burden.
