New Environmental Requirements
In the construction sector, overall policies on resource efficiency and the circular economy have as one of their objectives the shift from the use of natural materials to industrial by-products and materials recovered from waste. In this context, the assessment of the presence of hazardous substances in construction products and the corresponding implications for the environment—soil, air and water—as well as for health is an increasingly relevant topic. This chapter presents the environmental regulations related to the presence of hazardous substances in construction materials, the current developments in harmonized test methods for environmental monitoring of these materials as well as the perspectives regarding European environmental limit values for pollutants. Furthermore, environmental criteria for construction materials based on environmental product declarations, ecolabels and other schemes, intended to inform citizens about environmental performance, are also addressed.
