Developing a cost effective construction and demolition waste management plan
Journal title, journal issn, volume title.
Concern over construction and demolition (C&D) wastes is becoming a prevalent part of any construction project. Historically, landfilling waste materials was the standard solution for most contractors, but as tipping fees have risen dramatically over the past five to seven years, many contractors are looking for alternative methods, such as recycling or waste minimization, to reduce wastes.
This thesis investigates C&D wastes and proposes a methodology to address the problem of assessing waste disposal techniques efficiently and economically. A brief history of C&D wastes is provided to understand how and why costs associated with waste materials have risen over the last several years. Current waste management resources are discussed to demonstrate the availability of alternative disposal methods. An overall waste management plan is developed to provide a contractor with a step by step flowchart for analyzing material wastes, quantitatively assessing all costs associated with waste disposal, and implementing and updating the chosen waste management techniques. A case study is provided to illustrate how the waste management plan is used in an actual project. The thesis concludes with a discussion of the potential for further research in the area of C&D waste management.

C&D waste is, according to the European Commission (EC), waste that arises from activities as construction and demolition of buildings and civil infrastructure (EC, 2012). The large amount of C&D waste and the high potential for re-use and recycling of these materials are the reasons why the EC has given this waste stream high attention (EC ...

Construction and demolition waste (CDW) is often considered as a single type of waste. However, this thesis focuses solely on the construction waste (CW) and construction waste management (CWM). CWM is an integral part of maintaining a clean environment and creating a circular economy. The main objectives for the study are as follows:

Construction and demolition waste (CDW) is a major environmental concern that requires immediate attention. The large volumes of CDW produced and its associated environmental effects have led to explore new alternatives addressing this problem in more sustainable ways. In this context, the Circular Economy (CE)
