Summary
However, this would face legal obstacles. “As long as we classify recycled building materials in Germany, such as building rubble, as waste, we will not be able to convince any builder to install them in his house.”. Even now, many construction projects hardly paid off because of the increased interest rates and expensive materials. “One solution would be to do without the expensive demolition of buildings, but to leave the shell standing.” In addition, more empty offices would have to be converted into living space and more recycled building materials would have to be used. However, this is only possible to a limited extent and usually much more expensive. “For construction projects, this can lead to higher material and logistics costs and, in the worst case, to delays in the construction process.” Thus, the price of bitumen had risen again, after the binder for asphalt had already become more expensive with the Iran war.
Furthermore, There are also concrete types in which recycled material is mixed, but the demand is low. For the major tasks such as housing, infrastructure and the energy transition, however, recycled building materials were far from sufficient. “In addition, it is often the public sector that explicitly excludes the use of recycled building materials in their tenders.” In addition, recycled building materials could currently only be transported more expensive and difficult because of the low water. Since transport ships can load significantly less, deliveries for the construction industry are delayed, while the already high material prices are again boosted. We see, for example, that transport on the water is becoming increasingly difficult.
In addition, The public sector must go ahead with more tenders for recycled building materials, says Reimann. “The billions in infrastructure assets are a great opportunity here.” HDB CEO Müller sees sustainable construction as an important lever to increase resource efficiency.
