Description
Summary:Around 30% of the trash produced in the building sector in India is classified as construction and demolition (C&D) waste. This garbage is not properly managed, losing its potential for recycling and finally ending up in landfills and illegal dumping. Reuse of these waste are still in development stage leading to landfills without considering the effects of environment. Proper utilization of this waste will open new opportunities to recycling industries. The best way to make contractors more aware of need for recycling is by providing them the benefits of proper construction waste management. The study’s goal is to present a waste management strategy to lessen the amount of garbage that ends up in landfills by adopting techniques to cut waste creation at the source and taking Construction and Waste Management (CWM) into account during the planning stage. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software is being used to conduct the survey and carry out the statistical analysis. From the obtained result, the need for CWM can be understood and the foremost factors responsible for adopting CWM on project site are determined. This will further enhance the participation of industrialist towards greener environment.
