EDA participates in the update of the EU CDW Protocol

In 2018, the European Commission published its European Construction and Demolition Waste Management Protocol.

This document, crucial for the industry, provides comprehensive guidelines for companies involved in the Demolition, Decontamination and Recycling industries, about the management of C&DW. It has an important impact on the work of industry professionals by highlighting the best practices within the industry.

Now, after several years and many developments have passed, it is time to review and update this document, alongside another one: Guidelines for pre-demolition and pre-renovation audits.

And, once again, the EDA took the initiative to come forward in aid of the update of the guidelines. On February 22nd, the EDA Technical Committee gathered to review the document with stakeholders from all around Europe.

During the meeting, the participants discussed different sections and annexes. Selective demolition, hazardous substances, and identification and statistics and recommended template for waste traceability were among them.

The collective feedback was then submitted to the European Commission for its evaluation.

Those documents are crucial for the work development of the different actors of the industry, of which the EDA and its members are a part. It’s very important for us to always be at the vanguard of the changes happening in the sector and contribute to them with our knowledge and experience.
