Abstract: In the recycling chain of construction and demolition waste, it is impossible to guarantee a certain quality of recycled products and to recycle a large amount of materials in recycling centers without mechanical sorting facilities. This counts even more when the produced materials have a low economic value, as is the case with crushed and cleaned debris, also called aggregates. In order to assess if recycling can be done effectively, a feasibility study of the recycling of construction and demolition (C&D) waste is necessary.
