Interviews with governmental staff indicate that recycling concrete waste to be used as recycled aggregate and as new concrete construction materials, are new directions for the construction industry. This offers opportunities to reduce landfill and improve the environment. 4). A contractor explained in an interview discussion that implementing waste management requires considerable investment in the early stages of projects, including implementing site planning, the use of environmentally friendly materials and the installation of waste management facilities and equipment.
Seventeen examples and case studies highlight the factors affecting the estimation of C&D waste, the improvement achieved in the management scenarios and the benefits of implementation in attaining sustainable buildings. Key words: estimation; source; composition; quantification; construction and demolition (C&D) waste methods. 1 Introduction This chapter provides an overview of estimating construction and demolition waste (CDW) as good practice in planning and managing construction projects and waste disposal schemes.
By using the relative importance index, ‘Use of prefabricated building components’ is considered to be the most effective measure. 584 11 12 13 14 15 generation. A building contractor clarified at interview that reducing waste generation is the best option in implementing waste management, reusing and recycling being the only alternative methods for reducing waste on site. ‘Purchase management’ and ‘Education and training’ are considered to be the next most effective measures. A building contractor also explained that if an organisation has senior management support in implementing waste management, environmental awareness for their projects can easily be enhanced, thus significantly reducing waste generation.
