CONSTRUCTIVATE is a multidisciplinary, cross-sectorial research project aiming at generating knowledge and solutions for sustainable recycling of construction and demolition waste (CDW) and for formation of the future CDW recycling system. CDW is the largest waste stream (mining waste excluded) in Sweden; still only half of the waste generated is recycled. Thus, the project will focus on increasing the recycling rate of CDW, and in particular of the material fractions currently recycled into low/no-value materials or not being recycled at all, but having a significant impact on the carbon footprint of the construction activities in society. Construction activities, thus CDW generation, are expected to increase dramatically in Sweden in the next years, due to e.g. the current shortage of housing and the expected refurbishment of the housing built as a part of the Swedish Million Programme in the 1960s.
