50 Investible Opportunities for a New Nature Economy Supplementary Appendix 2026

41 Recycling construction and demolition waste (CDW) involves reclaiming materials from demolished structures and repurposing them for new construction projects – Reduced environmental impact : Recycling CDW minimizes pollution associated with extracting and processing new materials, including air and water pollutants – . Reclamation of materials : Reduces need for new raw materials with recycling processes often utilising existing facilities and sites Archetype Scalable Nature impact Transformative impact Suitability of financing and de - risking instruments Technological / process maturity Capital intensity Scalability Bonds Loans Equity Other De - risking Commercial bonds Thematic bonds Sustainability - linked bonds Impact bonds Commercial loans Thematic loans / project finance Sustainability - linked loans Impact loans Commercial equity Private equity Venture capital Impact equity Blended finance Insurance Advanced market commitments Legend: Low High Low suitability High suitability Payments for ecosystem services Land ecosystem Ocean ecosystem Freshwater use Resource use Pollution Co - benefits Climate Social ✓ – Modest capital requirements : Many existing machinery and equipment can be repurposed for recycling operations – Market perception changes: Further work required on quality standardization as there is a prevailing preference for new materials – Financing suitability characteristics: High technological maturity and moderate capital intensity favours commercial, thematic, sustainability - linked instruments, aligning well with circular economy and sustainability goals. Advanced market commitments and offtake agreements supports CDW recyclers plan investments in capacity which can improve price parity with conventional building materials. Environmental liability insurance coverage can support risks of contaminant exposure or improper waste handling.– Revenue potential : Increased focus for sustainable construction materials opens new market, potentially with premiums – L ower waste disposal costs: Diverting waste from landfills reduces fees and associated disposal costs.
