In order to move towards the\nsustainability and circular economy in the construction and\ndemolition, the \u201cRCD Circular Economy Roadmap in\nConstruction \u201d, which will serve as a guide to change the management of waste from the\nconstruction and demolition (RCD). After two years of work in which\ndifferent actors from society participated, such as the Consultative Committee of the\nRCD Strategy - made up of the Ministries of Housing, Environment and\nPublic Works, plus Corfo and its Construye2025- program, this Roadmap\nsets concrete short-term and long-term goals, with special emphasis on those\nthat should be fulfilled by 2035.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some of the changes\nspecific that this document raises is to reuse and recycle 70% of the volume\nof RCDs generated. Likewise, 50% of the building and public infrastructure\nnew in the country, between now and 2035, will have circular criteria and attributes,\naccredited through certifications. Finally, 80% of the\nroad infrastructure should have percentages of recycled material in the\nconstruction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The report highlights that\nambition is \u201cto promote State policies around the circular economy,\nintegrating the private sector and academia, in order to promote the\ncollaborative and integrated work \u201d. For this reason, the document proposes \u201caxes,\nguidelines, actions and goals, and the definition of strategies to overcome the\nchallenges and gaps \u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
