Abstract:
Construction waste or debris is any kind of debris from the construction process. Different government agencies have clear definitions. For example, the United States Environmental Protection Agency EPA defines construction and demolition materials as debris generated during the construction, renovation and demolition of buildings, roads, and bridges. Construction and demolition materials are created during the process of creating a new building or structure or when renovating or demolishing an existing structure. Construction waste increases the burden on landfill sites, which are becoming increasingly scarce. In addition, if the waste is not managed properly, materials such as solvents and chemically treated woods can cause soil and water pollution. It’s essential for construction companies to reduce waste in order to minimize environmental damage and conserve natural resources. All companies are encouraged to follow guidelines to reduce, reuse and recycle waste. Construction projects have a significant impact on the world’s environment. In fact, every aspect of construction has some measurable impact–from mining processes used for materials, to the waste produced by the project and how it is disposed of. It is important to understand and take initiative to decrease the environmental impact of construction projects which harm the water, ground, and air we breathe.
