America seems determined to do as little recycling as possible for weird culture war reasons, but even in the US construction rubble is fairly widely re-used and recycled: https://www.epa.gov/smm/sustainable-management-construction-and-demolition-materials https://www.epa.gov/smm/sustainable-management-construction-... > 600 million tons of C&D debris were generated in the United States in 2018, which is more than twice the amount of generated municipal solid waste. > Demolition represents more than 90 percent of total C&D debris generation, while construction represents less than 10 percent. > Just over 455 million tons of C&D debris were directed to next use and just under 145 million tons were sent to landfills.
