The European Construction Products Regulation came into force across the EU in July 2013.The regulation introduced legal requirements for the sustainable use of natural resources in the EU building sector. It states that construction must be designed, built and demolished in such a way that the use of natural resources is sustainable. In particular it requires: the re-use or recyclability of materials and parts after demolition, durability, and the use of environmentally compatible raw and secondary materials (Anderson, 2014).
