The construction and demolition waste (CDW) represents one of the largest waste streams within the European Union. In 2019, 25-30% of all waste generated in the EU had its origin from the construction and building sector (European Commission, 2019). According to the European Environmental Agency (2020), up to 47% of construction and demolition waste generated went to landfill in some regions within the EU in the year 2016. Under this panorama, the promotion of policies and directives addressing this problem is needed, above all, considering that 60% of the area expected to be urban by 2030 is not yet built (UN-HABITAT, 2009).

The objective of the Forum is to present:

1. The status quo of the construction sector in Schleswig Holstein regarding construction and demolition waste (CDW)
2. Innovative projects from the side of the academia and entrepreneurs and private sector about the reuse and recycle of CDW
3. Examples of including eco-design in the construction sector and circular economy approach.
4. Highlight the potential of the reuse and recycle of CDW and the benefits from the climate, economic, environmental, and social perspectives.
