This report presents the situation within the Nordic countries with respect to production and recycling of construction and demolition waste, in particular crushed concrete, in the form of aggregates, and discusses the conditions and requirements relating to environmental impacts for a possible application of the End-of-Waste option in the Waste Framework Directive. If this option is applied, the material may become a product and it will no longer be regulated by waste legislation. Regulation of crushed concrete under product legislation presents a number of challenges, particularly with respect to environmental protection. The report presents and proposes a methodology for the setting of leaching and risk-based criteria to be fulfilled by crushed concrete (and other waste aggregates) in order to obtain End-of-Waste status. It is further recommended to set impact-reducing conditions on the use of materials obtaining End-of-Waste criteria, and not to allow free use. It should be noted that the work described in this report was carried out during the period from 2010 to 2012.

The Council Decision of 19 December 2002 establishing criteria and procedures for the acceptance of waste at landfills pursuant to Article 16 of and Annex II to Directive 1999/31/EC (the Landfill Directive) was published on 16 January 2003. It should be implemented into national legislation in all member states and associated countries before 16 July 2004. In order to support and provide inspiration for this process, the Landfill Group under the Nordic Council of Ministers and the Centre for Waste Research (C-RES) decided to organise a joint seminar on sustainable landfill in view of the implementation of the EU Landfill Directive and the Council Decision on waste acceptance criteria. The seminar took place on June 18 and 19, 2003, at the Comwell conference centre in Holte, Denmark. This report documents the seminar and the most important conclusions and recommendations resulting from the discussions. Abstracts and slides are included in appendices.
