Abstract

The main problem with the recovery of construction and demolition (C&D) waste is the huge amount of recycled aggregates that remain unsold, due, maybe, to the lack of trust by sector operators. Carry on an environmental assessment would be a useful method to reveal the advantages in the use of the secondary resources. Through a literature review, this paper will analyze the application of Life Cycle tools for evaluating circular strategies in C&D waste management to compare different scenarios, hypotheses, and approaches adopted in life cycle assessment (LCA). The comparison will be done between four scientific articles from different countries (Italy, Spain, Denmark, and Brazil), in which an LCA analysis regarding C&D waste management has been carried out.
