Abstract

ORIG CZ

V originále

Construction and demolition waste (C&D waste) should be considered as a secondary resource if the aim is to recover and recycle such materials and reduce the load on landfills. The present paper discusses the definition of such waste as is used in European Union, analyzes the broad statistical data basically drawn from EUROSTAT publications and the documents of the DG Environment of the European Commission. The analysis and discussion focused on waste generation during the baseline year 2008 and the recycling rate and priority fractions of C&D waste. Analysis and discussion were followed by a brief conclusion which has highlighted some of the basic problems in waste handling in the EU and those might have a negative in uence on the 2020 target of recycling and/or re-use percentage of the Waste Framework Directive of the EC.
