Construction and demolition (C&D) waste, which includes materials from building, infrastructure construction, renovation, and demolition, represents a significant portion of the total waste stream and presents environmental challenges if not managed effectively. To tackle this issue, a variety of approaches are utilized. Source reduction entails designing structures using materials that minimize waste generation during construction and demolition. Reuse and salvage efforts identify opportunities to salvage materials from demolition sites, refurbishing items such as doors, windows, and lumber for use in other projects, thereby decreasing the demand for new materials. Recycling programs divert C&D waste from landfills, with materials like concrete, asphalt, wood, and metal being recycled into new products or repurposed in construction projects. Comprehensive waste management plans ensure the proper handling, segregation, and disposal of waste materials, integrating waste reduction and recycling objectives into project specifications. Regulations and standards govern waste management practices, while public awareness campaigns educate stakeholders about the advantages of sustainable waste practices. Collaboration among government agencies, industry stakeholders, and the public is essential to promote responsible C&D waste management, minimize environmental impact, and encourage a circular economy in the construction sector.
