Abstract
worldwide. A possible way to lower the environmental impact is to raise the
recycling quota in the end-of-life-phase, the recycling content of the input
materials and to enable reuse of construction materials. Data is based on
European case studies conducted within the FP7-funded ZeroWIN project.
The paper presents GWP-results for the improvement of three different
materials compared to the state of the art. Reuse could be identified as best
option to reduce the impact on climate change.
