Method to Support Circular Economy of aggregates (Sand /Gravel)

The objectives of the Green Deal require new circular economy approaches also starting from the management of construction and demolition waste. Circularity processes are affected both by regulatory actions and by physical, urban and industrial geographical aspects. The processes of industrial circularity are inserted in the territory where linear economies already exist by hybridizing them. In fact, localization processes of circular economies present cluster configurations. Furthermore, these circular economies are configured differently in relation to physical geography, to urban centers and transport infrastructures. The paper therefore aims to evaluate two case studies to extrapolate the risks and opportunities of the circular economy from construction and demolition waste (CDW)
