    (2023-11-21) Bertossi, Delfina; Gastaldi, Matías
    Abstract — Inadequate management of construction and demolition waste (CDW) is a significant environmental and social problem in Argentina. This paper investigates the disposal of CDW in developed countries to identify potential solutions that could be implemented in Argentina. The paper provides a classification of CDW and discusses the current legal vacuum in Argentina regarding CDW management. As well as this, the paper presents case studies of CDW management policies in China, the United States, the European Union, Germany, Korea, and Australia. In addition, the paper assesses the viability of implementing similar policies in Argentina and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of doing so. It is expected that this article may raise awareness about the pollution generated by CDW and provide possible paths to address it.
