City rejects complex rock reuse rules

The Swedish Environmental Protection Agency proposed new guidelines for handling construction materials, particularly stone containing harmful substances like sulfur and arsenic, aiming to boost reuse, cut transport, and thus lower costs and climate impact. While Stockholm City supports the goal of reusing rock masses, it rejects the current proposal, deeming it overly complex, likely to cause unnecessarily strict interpretations and increased costs, and ultimately counterproductive to its aim of promoting material reuse.
