Introduction
• Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste refers to materials produced during
construction, renovation, and demolition.
• Management is essential to reduce environmental impact.
• C&D waste forms a significant part of global solid waste.
Sources of C&D Waste
• Construction activities: new buildings, roads, bridges
• Demolition: old structures, infrastructure
• Renovation: residential and commercial modifications
• Maintenance: ongoing repairs
• Examples: concrete, wood, metal, bricks, glass, plastics
Environmental Impact
• Landfill space consumption
• Soil and groundwater contamination
• Dust and air pollution
• Depletion of natural resources
Objectives of Waste Management
• Reduce waste generation
• Maximize reuse and recycling
• Protect the environment
• Promote sustainable development
Waste Management Hierarchy
• Reduce
• Reuse
• Recycle
• Recover
• Dispose
Emphasis on minimizing waste at the source.
Strategies for C&D Waste
Management
• Pre-construction planning
• Material audits and inventories
• Selective demolition (Deconstruction)
• Use of sustainable and recyclable materials
Recycling and Reuse of Materials
• Concrete: crushed and reused as aggregate
• Wood: repurposed for furniture or bioenergy
• Metal: melted and recast
• Bricks: cleaned and reused in new constructions
Technologies in Waste
Management
• On-site and off-site recycling
• Mobile crushers
• Waste tracking apps and software
• Automated sorting equipment
Challenges in Managing C&D
Waste
• Lack of public and industry awareness
• High initial costs for recycling setups
• Insufficient regulatory enforcement
• Technical difficulties in material separation
Government Policies and
Regulations
• Construction and Demolition Waste Management Rules (2016) - India
• International standards (e.g., EU Waste Framework Directive)
• Incentives for green construction and recycling
Case Studies
• Major city project reused 70% of demolition materials
• Sustainable demolition project saved 60% cost in waste disposal
Future of C&D Waste Management
• Adoption of smart construction practices
• Increase in green building certifications (e.g., LEED)
• Innovation in recycling technologies and materials
Conclusion
• C&D waste management is crucial for sustainability.
• Cooperation among governments, industries, and individuals is essential.
• Move towards a greener, cleaner construction industry.
