Insulation is nearly half the value in construction and demolition waste. At roughly €337 million, insulation accounts for 48.9% of the material value in the construction and demolition waste of the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area: the most valuable stream. Hidden value is lost in construction and demolition residues through downcycling.
Open databases and calculation models make that value visible and keep material in high-grade use. This outcome is relevant for construction and demolition companies, municipalities and organisations in circular construction. Source: Urban mining MRA (2018).
