Construction and demolition waste management in India, sustainable measures, methodologies to estimate and control waste

Construction waste management is critical today. One of the most serious issues confronting the building industry is the scarcity of aggregate for the manufacturing of concrete. Wasted construction materials resulted in significant financial losses for builders, contractors, regional governments, and the country. Because the waste generated by demolition of structures is greater than the waste generated during development, there is a need for Construction and Demolition Management (C & D) In India, wastes, as opposed to Municipal Solid Wastes, is a relatively new topic. To begin with, there is no accurate estimate of the amount of waste produced in India. The main reason is that less focused on this issue. The proper utilization of building waste is a solution to the construction industry's rapid degradation of virgin raw materials. There is a lack of a regulatory framework and strict enforcement in this problem. This study contains specific recommendations for closing the loopholes in the problem. The current global status of building and demolition waste management is examined in this research, as well as the sustainable waste management hierarchy, to address the waste issue. Methods and various construction reuses are presented in this paper so that waste material created during demolition can be properly utilized. The importance of the reduce, reuse, and recycle (3R) concept for managing construction waste in India is highlighted in this research.
