The moderator of the event welcomed all present, giving a few minutes to the introduction of new members, then drew attention to the Rules of Procedure of the Business Council.

The moderator opened a free-flowing discussion by asking the members present to select an issue.

The BC participants discussed the importance of the sector in the context of proper waste management, which turns the circular economy into an operational one. The construction industry continues to have a large share in waste generation. Regardless of the proposed measures for their reuse and recovery, it is seen that there are gaps in the management of these wastes, which represents an obstacle in their recycling and reuse. A complete reformulation of the possibilities with effective waste management policies from the construction sector is necessary, starting to use more often European and global practices in the construction of green buildings. This know-how predetermines a new way of thinking, betting that the new waste management starts from the design, going through all stages of construction, as well as for the demolition of buildings.

It is necessary to make a broad information campaign that explains to the entrepreneurs the benefits as well as the efficiency of such construction as cost reduction and energy efficient structures.
