In recent months, the European Commission and European Parliament have financed numerous initiatives on or around the topic of resource efficiency in the construction industry, more particularly looking at waste and recycling. You may have attended some of the meetings but in order to give you a full picture of these projects and their latest news, Construction Products Europe organised a workshop on 22nd November in Brussels. The event included detailed presentations by the project leaders and Commission officials and  also a debate, where participants looked into the project recommendations and the approach of industry.
