Building and Demolition Waste Management Life Cycle Assessment
##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.main##
Abstract
Construction and demolition (C&D) waste management has gained significant attention due to its environmental, economic, and social implications. A life cycle assessment (LCA) approach offers a comprehensive method to evaluate the environmental impacts of C&D waste management strategies. This study reviews the life cycle stages of C&D waste, including generation, collection, transportation, processing, recycling, and final disposal, to identify opportunities for sustainable management practices. The findings highlight the benefits of adopting recycling and reuse methods, such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions, conserving natural resources, and minimizing landfill use. Furthermore, challenges such as logistical inefficiencies, contamination of materials, and regulatory constraints are discussed. The study emphasizes the need for integrated policies and advanced technologies to improve the efficiency and sustainability of C&D waste management systems. The results provide valuable insights for policymakers, industry stakeholders, and researchers to develop strategies that align with circular economy principles.
