Construction and demolition waste represents a significant waste flow, both in Brazil and in other countries. According to specific Brazilian legislation, since 2004 construction and demolition waste can no longer be disposed of in open dumps, municipal solid waste landfills, slopes, waterways and environmental protected areas. Construction and demolition waste should preferably be recycled, but just a small amount of it returns to the construction industry production chain in Brazil. This work aims both to present diagnoses of the construction and demolition waste management in Brazil, the European Union and the United States and to compare their results. It is concluded that Brazil presents performance indicators in relation to construction and demolition waste management well below those found for the other analysed countries. Furthermore, differences and similarities are identified and potentials for improvement in the current situation of construction and demolition waste in Brazil are discussed.

巴西，欧盟和美国之间的建筑和拆除废物管理比较。

在巴西和其他国家/地区，建筑废料和拆迁废料代表着大量的废料流。根据巴西的具体立法，自2004年以来，建筑和拆除废物将不再在露天垃圾场，城市固体废物填埋场，斜坡，水路和环境保护区处置。建筑废料和拆迁废料应优先回收，但只有少量返回巴西的建筑业生产链。这项工作旨在介绍巴西，欧盟和美国对建筑和拆除废物管理的诊断，并比较其结果。结论是，巴西提出的有关建筑和拆除废物管理的绩效指标远低于其他分析国家的绩效指标。此外，
