Abstract
The Dutch government has marked off various environmental policy lines, one of which deals with the concept of Sustainable Construction. One of the main principles of Sustainable Construction is Integral Substance Chain Management (ISCM). ISCM implies closing the various raw materials chains in such a way that a minimum amount of the materials is dumped or incinerated and a maximum amount of the released materials is reused, preferably in the same field of application. The effect of this is twofold: residual materials are advantageously reused; and the extraction of primary raw materials is limited.
