EDA’s commitment to advancing the circular economy in construction is evident through its involvement in numerous projects. With a dedicated Working Group on Circular Economy, EDA aims to establish and promote European standards and develop fundamental guidelines for sustainable practices in the industry.

Recognizing the importance of setting standardized practices across Europe, EDA is part of the CEN/TC 350, the Technical Committee responsible for developing standardized methods for the assessment of the sustainability of construction works. This move underscores EDA’s dedication to contributing to the development of standards that will guide the construction industry towards a more sustainable future.

The scope of CEN/TC 350/SC 1 is to standardize the field of circular economy in the built environment by specifying circular principles, guidelines, and requirements to facilitate the transition to a more sustainable circular economy.

On June 20th, EDA participated in a crucial meeting focused on the sustainability of construction works. This meeting was part of the broader efforts of CEN/TC 350/SC 1 to discuss the principles and guidelines necessary for the circular economy in the construction sector.

As a member of CEN/TC 350, EDA will be in a strategic position to influence European policies and regulations related to the circular economy. This influence will ensure that the demolition and recycling sectors are adequately considered in legislative developments.

This marks a significant milestone in EDA’s mission to lead the demolition, decontamination, and recycling sectors towards a sustainable future. By contributing to the development of European standards, EDA is not only supporting its members but also promoting a broader shift towards a circular economy in construction. The meeting on June 20th reaffirmed EDA’s commitment to this cause, setting the stage for impactful collaborations and advancements in sustainability practices.
