Construction is developing and growing and brings big revenues. That is why it occupies an important place in the country`s economy. However, there is also a lot of construction waste. A policy has been adopted for the management of this waste, according to which the reuse, recycling and recovery of energy from waste is applied to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and help combat climate change. In implementation of the adopted policy, new ments are introduced for the management and recycling of construction waste and for the use of recycled construction materials in construction. They oblige the contracting authorities for construction and installation works to ensure selective separation and recycling of construction waste. Recycled construction materials can be placed on the market or used in construction when they have been prepared for re-use and recycling activities, as well as conformity assessment in compliance with environmental parameters.

The aim of the policy is to create conditions for recycling and reuse of construction materials, and by 2020, 70% of the amount of construction waste generated must be recycled.
