3rd International Conference
The recycling of wastes and drosses in buildings:
from downcycling to upcycling towards the objectives of circular economy
1. State of the art
Most anthropogenic waste generates an impact on the environment. The hierarchy defined
by the European framework on waste management can help to reduce landfill capacity and
allow the recovery of energy from existing materials, in order to balance energy and impacts
during the production, installation, useful life and disposal.
About 20 years ago, the Ronchi Law promoted sustainable waste management through the
so-called "5R Hierarchy", definable as Refuse, Reduce, Repair, Reuse, Recycle.
We still speak of hierarchy, even within a circularity of processes, with the aim of giving grea-
ter importance to certain practices, considering however desirable the use of the others.
In 2008, the Waste Directive 2008/98 / EC was issued with the aim of establishing a legal
framework for waste treatment in the European Union, designed to protect the environment
and human health, emphasizing the importance of an adequate waste management and
reusing and recycling techniques to reduce pressures and impacts on resources and to impro-
ve their use.
In addition to reiterating a hierarchical relationship in the application of the methodologies,
preferring, where possible, the reduction of the amount of waste, the legislator establishes
the responsibilities of the person who produces the waste, imposing the burden of waste
management costs on that subject, and it also entrusts the manufacturer with what remains
after the use of its products according to the principle of "extended producer responsibility".
Among the others, there is the obligation for member Countries to provide for the prepara-
tion of appropriate waste management plans and prevention programs, once again attribu-
ting to the practice of reduction a strategic value, and introduces some thresholds to be
achieved by 2020, including the reduction of 70% of construction and demolition waste.
Furthermore, in 2015 the European Commission through the Communication "Towards a
circular economy (EC): a zero waste programme for Europe" [COM (2015) 614] introducing
the EC theme in the European public debate, highlights the importance of identifying ways of
behaviors and solutions to enhance wastes and drosses in resources.
After 10 years from the enactment of the legislation and with the approach of the deadlines
provided, we are still far from reaching the targets identified also in Countries such as Italy.
In fact, it should be noted that in Italy the use of materials with recycled content is now a
mandatory requirement in the context of Public Procurement, by virtue of the Minimum
Environmental Criteria for Building (DM 11/10/2017) of the National Action Plan for Green

Public Procurement, which also provide for the selective demolition and recovery of
construction and demolition waste, as well as the disassembly project for building compo-
nents and waste prevention. In this framework, research and design experimentation on the
topic are currently indispensable, to allow the transposition of the above-mentioned regula-
tory approaches to the scale of the building supply chain with the application of the most
appropriate technical strategies and options.
Recycling involves a certain amount of energy used and an increase in the environmental
impact if nothing else is due to the transport of wastes and drosses to recycling plants. It is
therefore necessary to outline the practices and evaluation methods of downcycling and
upcycling, based on the value of the product after the transformation process.
If the downcycle involves the transformation of a product into a less valuable one, the upcycle
is the process of transforming products and waste into something with greater economic,
qualitative or environmental value.
Promoted by the Department of Architecture of Roma Tre University and by the Engineering
Department of the University of Molise, the 3rd International Conference "The recycling of
wastes and drosses in buildings: from downcycling to upcycling towards the objectives of
circular economy" intends to share experiences of research and experimentation design and
provide food for thought to the Scientific Community.
The Conference is an opportunity for theoretical and popular discussion, aimed at expanding
the themes and collecting proposals, on innovative models of waste management aimed at
the integration of 5Rs, with reference to the Building sector and the upcycling experiences.
Realized at various levels (experimentation on materials / components, realization of stands /
architectures with waste materials, etc.).
A call for paper is then published, aimed at the selection and publication of contributions of
various origins, with the aim of restoring a framework of articulated art and an interdiscipli-
nary and innovative proposal.
2. Sessions
