Quantifying future post-demolition concrete in Germany: A multi-model projection until 2080
• Development of a multi-model approach to determine post-demolition concrete volumes. • Quantification approach combines waste statistics, stock data, and production statistics. • Projection of post-demolition concrete volumes in Germany until 2080. • > 50 million tons of post-demolition concrete predicted for 2040. • Significant volumes arising primarily in urban areas in Germany.
