Throughout history, the waste from construction has been used to raise new buildings. Construction has always drawn from any material that could be used, had a certain consistent behaviour and which offered minimal service with respect to the use to which it was to be put. In construction, there has always been a certain tendency to save everything remaining from the previous construction and was of certain interest (tiles, bricks, beams, straddles...).

The document Use of construction waste deals with the reuse of the waste generated by the activity. One of the subjects dealt with in the document is the reuse of tyres in construction.
