This article explores the sustainable management of construction and demolition waste (CDW) as part a circular economy in Europe. It provides an overview current European practices, identifies main challenges associated with collecting, sorting recycling waste, highlights need to design buildings that encourage reuse materials. The study also draws on best practice from internationally recognised examples such Japan, Singapore, California, Netherlands China, which effectiveness combination strict regulations, economic incentives advanced technologies. These international cases provide valuable lessons can be adapted context improve situation fill gaps policy, innovation education. recommends targeted measures strengthen harmonising standards, promoting eco-design principles public procurement, investing research development (R&D) establishing green administrative practices. By adopting these strategies, Europe significantly CDW, fostering more resilient, integrated economy.
