Construction and demolition waste recovered in the UK 2010-2020
Approximately 55 million metric tons of construction and demolition (C&D) waste were recovered in the United Kingdom in 2020, down from roughly 64 million metric tons a year earlier. Nevertheless, this accounted for a C&D recovery rate of 92.6 percent that year. Under the EU Waste Framework Directive, the UK had a target of recovering at least 70 percent of non-hazardous C&D waste by 2020.
