The amount of construction waste in Slovenia is growing rapidly. In 2020, the country generated 4.5 million tonnes of construction waste, rising to 6 million tonnes in 2021 and reaching a record 8.6 million tonnes in 2022—the highest amount ever statistically recorded. Construction waste accounted for 59% of total waste in 2020, almost two-thirds in 2021, and almost three-quarters in 2022 (source: Statistical Office of the Republic of Slovenia). As construction waste continues to grow, the construction sector has emerged as a key player in the circular economy.. Recognising the significant challenges facing the sector, we are organising an expert event as part of the RESTART project to promote the exchange of knowledge, ideas and best practices among all stakeholders. 

The expert event will focus on the circular economy and construction processes, exploring the recycling of materials in the construction sector and showcasing good practices. It will also include a consultation on the main challenges facing the Slovenian construction sector in reusing construction waste.
