• 1. Implications of the recycling on the sorting
  of waste
• Impurities
• Bricks and concrete
• Clay
• Metal
• Cement or glue residues
• Oil, solvents or other dangerous substances

Toolbox

• Sorting

Recycling (mechanical or chemical)
Sorting on site or at the company
Gathering
Pre-treatement
CD waste
Sorting center
Energetic valorization

Toolbox

• 2. Sorting CD waste
• Parameters
• The kind and the extent of the building site
• The available space and the phases of the work
• The number of sub-contractors
• The quantity and the quality of the waste
• The cost of the recycling in relation to the cost
  of the landfilling
• The cost of the location of the containers, of
  the roads, of the transport
• The legislation
• The available time to sort the waste in relation
  to the delay of the work
• The existing recycling or sorting centers

Toolbox

• Management of waste
• Contractor manage the waste of all subcontractors
• Each subcontractor manage his waste and sort them
  in his company
• For some workers like sanitarists, joiners, CD
  waste are specific (pipes, ) gt profitable to
  sort directly
• Organisation

• 5. Practical example
• Building 4 floors 13 apartments and the
  ground-floor for offices with an area of 2350m².
• Location small one-way street in center of
  Brussel. It has party walls. Small area no
  place for containers.

• Scenarios
• Structural work mixed waste (container)
• Special techniques mixed waste (container)
  pipes (big-bag)
• Finishing mixed waste (container) hard
  plastics (big-bag) plastic films (big-bag)
  insulation (big-bag)
