Use of recycled materials created by demolition of existing structures

U prošlosti je reciklaža bila skoro u potpunosti zanemarena. Iz tog razloga, u današnje vrijeme imamo velike ekološke probleme te se uvidjelo da je reciklaža neophodna. No, nisu samo ekološki problemi razlog recikliranja nego i financijski razlozi. Građevinski otpad, s obzirom na količinu, predstavlja približno jednu trećinu ukupnog proizvedenog otpada. Pravilnim gospodarenjem građevinskim otpadom te reciklažom i ponovnom upotrebom može se znatno pridonijeti održivosti i kvaliteti života, kao i ekološkog i financijskog poboljšanja.In the past, recycling was almost completely neglected. For this reason, nowadays we have big ecological problems and it was realized that recycling is necessary. However, not only environmental problems are the reason for recycling, but also financial reasons. Construction waste, in terms of quantity, represents approximately one third of the total waste produced. Proper management of construction waste, recycling and reuse can significantly contribute to sustainability and quality of life, as well as environmental and financial improvement
