Collaborative project whose main objective is to create and validate viable circular business models involving the participation and benefiting of several companies in the construction, materials recovery and C&D waste management sectors. The project highlights the need to study business models associated with the recovery of C&D waste, either through its transformation into new recycled construction materials or by promoting commercial channels for materials that can be feasibly reused.
