Material Recovery of Building Materials refers to the process of recovering, reusing, and recycling building materials at the end of their useful life. This process involves identifying building materials that can be salvaged, building deconstruction, sorting, and processing materials for reuse or recycling. The objective of material recovery is to reduce the amount of waste generated from building demolition and construction by diverting materials away from landfill disposal and towards reuse, thus conserving natural resources and reducing the environmental impact of construction activities. Material Recovery is an essential component of sustainable construction practices and contributes to the circular economy concept.
