Quantification of C&D waste in the spanish dwellings

The objective of this research is the application of a quantification model of C&D waste, elaborated by the autors in precedent researches, to quantify the C&D waste generated in the construction of 2-storey spanish dwellings. A practical example has been carried out on ten dwellings in Sevilla Spain, thereby allowing the identification and quantification of the C&D waste generated in their construction and its environmental condition. This reference model enables: other researchers to establish comparisons between the various improvements proposed for the minimization of the environmental impact produced in construction; new corrective measures can be proposed in future policy plans that regulate the production and management of C&D waste in construction.
