COMMON CHALLENGE TACKLED BY CONDEREFF: The challenge and opportunity faced by the CONDEREFF regions is to accelerate their policy work on improving resource efficiency at territorial level. Τhe EU Construction & Demolition Waste Management Protocol and the transition towards Circular Economy can guide the regulative roll-out of C&D waste management across EU regions; accordingly, the proliferation of infrastructures & methods for recycling and re-use of C&D waste materials can introduce a green growth opportunity. Regions can exploit this opportunity by improving their policy instruments to factor these developments in, and support projects and processes to this direction. OBJECTIVE AND EXPECTED CHANGE: The CONDEREFF project brings together 8 partners from 7 countries to exchange experiences and practices on how to move forward from existing procedures on C&D waste management towards the adoption and further exploitation of the best practices and measures applied in the field. The project will enable the participating regions to advance their goals for resource efficiency and green growth through the proper management of C&D waste, which can boost demand for C&D recycled materials and support both sustainability and recycling in the construction sector. OUTPUTS & BENEFITS: - 7 Action Plans aiming to improve the 7 policy instruments addressed. - 3 interregional workshops, 1 exchange of experience visit, and 1 policy & industry symposium . - 42 regional stakeholders meetings. - 7 regional building confidence meetings. - 10 policy briefs to transfer lessons learnt beyond the partnership. - 1 “track & change C&D waste” toolkit. - 1 compendium of best practices. - 4 joint thematic studies & analyses.
