Abstract :
[en] This report aims to investigate aggregate and sand production within the European
Union, focusing on the NWE (North-West Europe) region.
In the initial phase of our analysis, we will assess aggregate production, encompassing
both natural and recycled sources, at the EU27+UK level. Subsequently, we will gather and
present data specific to each partner country (in separate documents). This report will
begin with an examination of natural sand and aggregate deposits, followed by an
exploration of Construction and Demolition Waste (C&DW) production and its
composition. Finally, we will delve into the production of recycled sands and aggregates.
Furthermore, wherever available, we will examine the flows of natural and recycled
materials. These flow patterns will help identify countries or regions facing shortages of
natural resources that could potentially be met by utilizing recycled materials. This
information will shed light on the burgeoning market for recycled aggregates and sands.
