TalTech: CDW CONFERENCE 2026

Construction and demolition waste is an important resource. Its smart and targeted use helps reduce costs and create new value chains. Purposeful valorisation increases resource efficiency and supports the competitiveness of the sector. However, these materials have so far been used rather modestly as high-quality secondary raw materials.

CDW Conference 2026 focuses on how to expand the use of construction and demolition waste in a reliable and effective way. The conference will discuss solutions that help reduce dependence on primary raw materials. It will also address the role of innovation and the conditions needed for the wider uptake of circular materials.

The conference brings together researchers, policymakers, sector representatives, entrepreneurs and international experts to discuss developments, challenges and solutions in the field.

The program includes a conference on May 6 and site visits on May 7. The conference will take place at the Lasnamäe Circular Economy Center, located at Toorme 2, Tallinn. Since the street name is new, it is not yet available in all map applications, so we recommend using the former address, Punane 58, Tallinn, when searching.
