China News Service, November 13. According to the website of the State Administration for Market Regulation, the State Administration for Market Regulation (National Standards Committee) recently approved the release of the national standard "Guidelines for the Recycling of Construction Waste" (GB/T 48389-2026), which will be officially implemented from February 1, 2027. This standard covers the entire process of construction waste classification, collection, storage, transportation, utilization and information management, and provides the first systematic technical guidance for the recycling of construction waste in my country.

This standard follows the principles of construction waste reduction, resource utilization, and harmless disposal and the idea of ​​classified utilization. It stipulates the traceability of information in the entire process of construction waste generation, transportation, admission, and the appearance of recycled products, as well as the management of energy consumption and material flow data. It provides technical basis and implementation guidance for the recycling of construction waste.

It is estimated that for every 100 million tons of construction waste used instead of natural resources, approximately 1.19 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions can be reduced. The issuance and implementation of this standard will guide the recycling of construction waste to reduce resource, energy consumption and carbon emissions in the production of building materials, provide unified technical support for the transformation of construction waste from "waste" to "urban minerals", promote the in-depth connection between construction waste management and the realization of "dual carbon" goals and the construction of "waste-free cities", and help green and low-carbon transformation and sustainable development in the urban and rural construction field.
