Abstract (EN): Management of Construction and Demolition Waste (CDW) in Portugal is not yet a primary issue. Different methods have been used by the various entities involved to assess amounts of CDW thus leading to different published results. A wide range research programme is being carried out on CDW and in particular, a study to characterize CDW in the Porto urban region. In this paper, after a short presentation of the Porto urban area, the waste policy, including situation of CDW practices and the possible estimation of quantities in the region are presented. Finally some examples of three recent case studies are discussed.
