Management of Construction and Demolition Waste in Construction Projects: A Case Study
Keywords:
Construction projects, Construction and demolition, Waste management, Construction wasteAbstract
Waste production has been with humans since the first days of the formation of human society and concentration in a specific place, and also since the distant past, waste production and waste disposal methods have been problematic for humans, and this issue has caused that various methods for waste disposal are used. Since construction activities are among the most important economic parts of any society, this industry produces a large amount of waste every year, which is increasing with the increasing number of worn-out fabrics and construction in different levels of the country. In this study, by studying and researching the methods of disposal and management of construction and demolition waste, traditional and old methods should be left aside and a step should be taken in the direction of better management of time, economy and environment. Waste management is not discussed much in our country, although it is an important and vital topic in developed countries, because compliance with standards and using the right methods for its management in various fields will help people and the environment. The environment that should be addressed more than ever today and efforts should be made to preserve it because there is no substitute for it in case of any damage.
