SWOT analysis about the possibilities of using construction waste in Polish road infrastructure
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the level of waste generated from construction and renovation (C&D). In the European Union countries, they constitute approximately 40% of all waste generated annually. C&D waste collected in landfills often has a negative impact on the natural environment. The solution to this problem is their reuse in buildings and road works. Currently, the road industry is one of the best-developing construction sectors, which creates great recycling opportunities. The aim of the article is to identify waste and assess the possibility of its reuse in road construction using SWOT analysis. As much as 80% of identified construction waste can be reused. The most useful waste is basalt grit and stone material (100%), and the least useful is recycled tar (11.1%).
