Future wastes: our anthropogenic stocks and urban mining

We are living in a society of accumulation. Every year each one of us accumulates an additional 10 tons of material made up of goods, buildings and infrastructure adding up to an average of 340 tons of material in stocks per capita. Sooner or later all of this will turn into waste material.

What are these materials? When will how much of it become waste and how can we then make use of it? How are we going to deal with problematic materials?

Our special focus will be on the construction industry, aiming to find out what it takes to make construction a circular business.
