A comprehensive transition to a circular economy for the construction and demolition industry presents many challenges. We will explore the non-traditional materials in the C&D waste stream and will discuss new and future markets for these materials. We will discuss best practices in collection, processing and marketing of recovered drywall, asphalt shingles, carpet, and other overlooked items. The participants will leave the session with a better understanding of C&D materials and what is currently being done, as well as useful information for increasing the diversion of this universal waste stream and steps to help develop a circular economy for C & D materials.
