Abstract
An overview is given of the actual situation in Belgium, related to construction and demolition waste. The implementation of EC policy and Directives by the different regional authorities resulted in waste management plans, in which C&D waste is considered as a priority waste stream. The different strategies followed concerning disposal and recycling of C&D waste are covered. Information related to quantities of C&D waste, dumping tariffs and prices and costs of primary and secondary aggregates is provided. The disposal, treatment, recovery and recycling practices differ among the regions. Particular attention is given to the present efforts of the authorities. The use of other secondary materials forces the authorities to focus on environmental and health aspects. In order to avoid higher treatment costs and possible contaminations the installation of a demolition permit and an environmental legislation could be appropriate.
