Abstract: By 2020, the recent Spanish legislation (Law 22/2001) has fixed a goal about the amount of non-hazardous construction and demolition waste, which is difficult to achieve with the current stakeholders' behaviour. This paper examines a number of fiscal instruments to promote the prevention and control of pollution by encouraging the use of this type of waste. The heterogeneity of these measures at local level requires the development of a statewide law that governs the actions designed to promote joint coordination and serve to achieve the goal of state protection. The target areas for the tax route will focus mainly on producer responsibility and the promotion of green technologies. From a causal analysis of the problem, we have designed a management model to analyse the impact of incentive policies for the administration to use C&D waste. This model encourages a broader understanding of the technical and socioeconomic implications of sustainable construction.
