VTT: Demolition planning as part of construction – reuse and recycling of parts improves the eco-efficiency of buildings

With good planning, it is possible to promote the reuse of construction and demolition waste and thereby both conserve the environment and save on material costs. In the future, it will be even more important to assess how buildings can reasonably be repaired or demolished into parts, together with how the remaining service life of the parts can be utilized in new applications.
