Construction and Demolition: Managing Waste for Sustainable Development
Construction and demolition (C&D) activities generate significant amounts of waste globally, posing both environmental challenges and opportunities for sustainable management. As urbanization and infrastructure development accelerate worldwide, especially in emerging economies, addressing C&D waste has become a critical component of responsible construction practices.
C&D waste typically includes materials such as concrete, bricks, wood, metals, glass, plastics, and soil. Unlike municipal waste, these materials are often bulky and heavy, requiring specialized handling and disposal methods. Improper management of C&D waste can lead to landfill overflows, pollution, and resource depletion.

The global construction industry is increasingly adopting waste reduction, reuse, and recycling strategies to mitigate environmental impacts. Recycling C&D materials not only conserves natural resources but also reduces greenhouse gas emissions associated with raw material extraction and transportation. For example, crushed concrete and asphalt can be reused as aggregates in new construction projects, while metals like steel and aluminum are…
