Recycling of Secondary Building Resources. Problems and Prospects of the Industry on the Example of Moscow

Abstract

The article analyzes the problem of recycling construction and demolition waste in Russia, which is particularly relevant in connection with the activation of housing renovation projects and the implementation of national projects. The most effective method of utilization is recycling, i.e. processing as secondary building resources, but in terms of the share of recycled construction waste (about 10% of their total volume), Russia lags far behind developed countries. On the example of Moscow, the preliminary results of the initial stage of renovation of dilapidated housing stock are considered and the main problems that determine the development and efficiency of investment in the construction waste processing industry are identified. The main ones are the insufficient capacity of existing enterprises and the complexity of organizing the process of collecting and sorting waste directly on the construction site. In order to overcome these limitations, the authors offer a flowchart of the structure and stages of complex recycling of secondary construction resources. The main cost-effective technologies of secondary building resources, processing that are promising for investment in the development of small and medium-sized businesses using market mechanisms and state regulation are identified and considered.
