The project has developed, between 2018 and 2021, a series of actions and tools addressed to professionals of the construction sector – building commissioners, contracting authorities, specifiers, architects and contractors. The present document is one of the project outcomes. It consists of a body of recommendations and ideas for actions that could be initiated and implemented by public authorities to foster the reclamation and reuse of building materials on their territory.

The activities provided in this report are set into a roadmap. First, stakeholders should foster the demand for reusing building materials and foster the proper reclamation of reusable building materials. This can be done by encouraging and supporting specifiers and contractors to adopt reuse practices or raising private owners' awareness of reclamation procedures. Second, the gap between reclamation, reuse and all the steps in between should be bridged, and a supportive framework for reclamation and reuse will be established. Finally, the report also provides actions to monitor evolutions. This report is helpful for public authorities to help implement reuse practices in the construction sector to prevent waste production and raw materials consumption. Also, these practices fit into the transition towards a more circular economy. Public authorities can use the actions in this report to support the development and implementation of a Circular Systemic Solution (CSS) in the construction sector, directly impacting the job market and raw materials consumption. The monitoring recommendations can help public authorities to monitor the progress made in these practices and evaluate the effectiveness of the CSS.
