Construction Materials

Selling, purchasing, and enhancing Construction or Building Materials in the B2B circuit of the circular economy

Residues from the ceramics industry, stone processing and construction materials — defective tiles, stoneware offcuts, aggregates, cement, broken bricks and clay — are often reusable as aggregates, sub-bases, fill materials or raw input for new construction products. The recovery supply chain for construction and demolition waste is among the most developed in Europe, supported by a combination of regulatory incentives and market demand for low-cost, low-impact materials.

Construction and demolition waste is the heaviest category at European level: according to Eurostat, it accounts for 36% of total waste generated in the EU. The average european recovery rate exceeds 70%, with the Netherlands and Italy among the best performers. European construction regulations are introducing progressive targets for the use of recycled materials in new buildings, driving up demand for secondary raw materials of construction origin.

On Sfridoo, ceramics manufacturers, brick producers, construction companies and site managers can access a dedicated B2B channel to valorise production offcuts and demolished materials. The platform simplifies the matching between those generating significant volumes of this material and those capable of transforming it into secondary raw materials.
