Considering complementary end-of-life  circularity savings in life-cycle GHG emissions of Buildings is essential as described in this position paper

The JRC report related to "Techno-economic and environmental assessment of construction and demolition waste management in the European Union"underlines that metals are the only materials which are already systematically and profitably recycled or reused at the end-of-life of buildings. Such metal reuse or recycling provides significant environmental & climate benefits by avoiding the production of primary metal.

METALS FOR BUILDINGS was very pleased to contribute to the webinar organised by the European Demolition Association. This webinar called “the infinite life of metals in construction” took place on 11 May. Case studies on steel, copper and aluminium were presented.

This election took place at an Extraordinary General Assembly on 8 Oct. Nathalie Janssens (Alvance-European Aluminium) succeeds to her previous colleague, Alain Dufour, who sadly deceased in August. All METALS FOR BUILDINGS members congratulate Nathalie and look forward to a successful collaboration.
