Abstract:

Objective: This study investigates the typologies of solid waste incorporated into buildings in Brazilian ecovillages, aiming to highlight this practice and explore sustainable construction with reused materials. Theoretical Framework: The current environmental crises challenge the construction industry to overcome the linear production, consumption, and disposal paradigm, which generates excessive waste. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) offer a framework for action, but their practical implementation remains a challenge. Ecovillages, as intentional ecological communitie

Abstract:

In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the level of waste generated from construction and renovation (C&D). In the European Union countries, they constitute approximately 40% of all waste generated annually. C&D waste collected in landfills often has a negative impact on the natural environment. The solution to this problem is their reuse in buildings and road works. Currently, the road industry is one of the best-developing construction sectors, which creates great recycling opportunities. The aim of the article is to identify waste and assess the possibility of its

Abstract:

After natural resources are mined, they are stored in cities in the form of urban minerals through the construction of buildings. However, buildings have many negative impacts on nature from the time they are constructed and used to the end of their life cycles when they are demolished and discarded. At present, many researchers have conducted research on the recycling of buildings, including the whole life cycle of buildings, the value assessment of the construction waste, the recycling boundary of the construction waste, and the way building waste could be reused.

Abstract As the most widely used construction material worldwide, concrete is the main cause of greenhouse gas emissions, material depletion, and waste generation by the construction industry. Typically, concrete waste is crushed and, at best, reclaimed into recycled aggregate or used as gravel. This process is energy-intensive and results in a reduction in material properties. In contrast, the direct reuse of concrete elements from obsolete structures offers great potential for significantly reducing the environmental impact of new constructions. To be reused, concrete elements are carefully

Abstract:

The paper performs a critical overview concerning the construction and demolition waste (C&DW) management issues in Romania. Five main stages related to C&DW management are highlighted such as: (i) illegal dumping on public lands; (ii) C&DW collection and disposal in urban landfills; (iii) C&DW treatment and reuse in civil constructions (roads, coating material for landfills); (iv) regional integrated waste management systems; (v) recycling of building materials (e.g., cement industry and recycled aggregates). The paper reveals the poor monitoring of C&DW flows across Roman

Abstract:

Due to the day to day innovations and development in construction field, the use of natural aggregates is increased tremendously and at the same time, the production of solid wastes from the demolitions of constructions is also quite high. Because of these reasons the reuse of demolished constructional wastes like ceramic tile came into the picture to reduce the solid waste and to reduce the scarcity of natural aggregates for making concrete. The ceramic tile waste is not only occurring from the demolition of structures but also from the manufacturing unit. The waste material should have to be

Abstract:

There is a lack of awareness and knowledge among the Malaysian construction industry about waste management reduction. Numerous nations worldwide have understood and have incorporated the concept of the 3R (reduce, reuse, and recycle) in waste management, and it has worked out well. This study investigated construction waste issues and developed a model for sustainable reduction by applying 3R using a partial least squares structural equation modeling PLS-SEM in Malaysia. The research methodology adopted the quantitative and qualitative approaches by sending a survey questionnaire to the relev

Abstract:

The purpose of the article is to study the global experience of organizing the collection and processing of construction and demolition waste for their reuse in construction, to determine the possibility of applying positive practices in Ukraine. In the EU, construction waste makes up more than a third of all generated waste. The components of construction and demolition waste have different resource values, but can still be easily recycled into new products or materials. The level of recycling and disposal of waste varies significantly in EU countries, ranging from less than 10% to more than

People's living conditions and the popularization of infrastructure are regarded more and more as China's economy and culture improve. There are also increasing building demands. However, as there are more and more structures, rubbish production increases. There are steps that must be done to deal with the trash produced in building as people's knowledge of environmental friendliness and resource reuse increases and as the impact of construction waste on the entire ecological environment cannot be disregarded.

Abstract: The exponential rise in the production of plastic and the consequential surge in plastic waste have led the scientists and researchers look out for innovative and sustainable means to reuse/recycle the plastic waste in order to reduce its negative impact on environment. Construction material, converting waste plastic into fuel, household goods, fabric and clothing are some of the sectors where waste plastic is emerging as a viable option. Out of these, construction material modified with plastic waste has garnered lot of attention. Modification of construction material with plastic w

A set of questionnaire was administered to barbing salon proprietors to obtain their current barbing salon waste management styles, viz a viz the types of waste generated and methods of waste disposal. Data obtained were analyzed descriptively and reveals hair as the dominant waste generated in barbing salon operations. The hair wastes are swept and packed using coconut brooms and plastic hand shovel and stored in paper cartons. They are hence disposed on weekly or monthly basis or whenever cartons are filled up at refus

Abstract:

Environmental pollution has become a relevant issue as the population rises and resources decrease. Reuse and recycling still have the greatest potential as they turn the waste into a new resource, representing the ‘closed-loop’ step of a circular economy (CE). Looking for new applications for agro-industry waste represents both an environmental issue, as its incorrect disposal is a cause of pollution, and a chance to exploit zero-cost natural wastes. The present review, with around 200 articles examined, focuses on possible reuses of these residues in (a) building construction, as additives t

These wastes, if not completely recycled, will create the environmental problems. This research paper concentrates on the use of a system dynamics technique to develop a C&D waste recycling. The project is based on the recycling of the rapidly increasing construction and demolition waste.

Abstract:

The plastic profile of construction waste is varied and complex, particularly when compared to other waste streams such as timber, concrete, metals, and plasterboard. There are fewer incentives for recycling this low-density, low-value waste stream. Plastic waste generated by construction activities remains poorly characterised, obstructing efforts to optimise reduction, reuse, and recycling practices. To understand its types and sources, and better address plastic waste management, this study audited plastic waste produced across six new-build construction sites in Auckland, New Zealand. A to

Abstract The current evolution of the construction materials manufacturing industry requires an increased focus on the quantities of raw materials used, this can be adjusted by obtaining new sustainable materials with low energy and raw material consumption. The negative impact of the exploitation of natural resources is felt both from the point of view of the population’s health and of the economic branch. Urban development and the progress of society have led to an uncontrolled increase in the amount of waste resulting from construction and demolition. Over the years it has been shown that w
