METALS FOR BUILDINGS contributed to the Sustainable Built Environment Conference 2019 taking place on 11 - 14 September 2019 in Graz (Autria). Presented at a special session focusing on "Resource efficient buildings - EPD for construction products: End-of-Life information", the paper (see abstract & full paper) explains how recycling at production stage and end of life stage are addressed in EN15804 for metal products.

 

METALS FOR BUILDINGS welcomes the revision clause (Art. 11, new §6 of Directive (EU) 2018/851) that asks the European Commission to consider setting re-use and recycling targets for CDW by December 2024, and urges the European Commission to do so for the whole CDW flow.

Getting the right metrics for metal recycling in standards is essential to support the Circular Economy. Module D in EN15804 provides the full picture for metals.
