Zero-waste networks in construction and demolition in Portugal
Abstract
This paper presents the results of Portuguese case studies on developing an industrial network around a construction site and three zero-waste demolition projects. The case studies analysed to what extent it is possible to achieve a significant reduction of the solid waste produced and an overall decrease in energy and water consumption. The results show that the reduction targets could be achieved by implementation of good practices in waste management and the development of networks to allow an increase in the reuse and recycling rates of wasted materials and residual water. At the construction site, overall achievement of reduction rates was additionally enforced by the substitution of inputs with strong potential impacts on the decrease of fresh water consumption and greenhouse gas emissions along the supply chain.

Damages to reused building components can decrease the quality of the elements and affect their reusability.
“Damages to the reused building components can decrease the quality of the elements and affect their reusability (da Rocha and Sattler, 2009; Durão et al., 2014; Huuhka and Hakanen, 2015; Tatiya et al., 2017).”

Architects refuse to use recovered wood in visible places due to its poor appearance.
“For instance, Durão et al. (2014) report that the architects refuse to use recovered wood in visible places due to its poor appearance.”

Visual appearance of reused components might be interpreted as lower quality compared with a new element.
“One reason behind this is the visual appearance of the reused components that might be interpreted as lower quality when compared with a new element (Dunant et al., 2017; Durão et al., 2014; Tingley et al., 2017).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
