A Methodology to Develop Master Plans for Construction and Demolition Waste Management
Publication: Construction Research Congress 2024
ABSTRACT
In a linear economy, products such as construction materials are disposed of at the end of life of the built asset and are considered waste. The principles of a circular economy call for the reuse and recycling of products, thereby extending their lifespan. Construction and demolition waste (CDW) exceed a third of the total waste generated worldwide. Developed countries have created master plans to manage waste; however, these plans do not necessarily focus on CDW. Also, they fall behind in presenting a clear methodology for duplication in other parts of the world. This study proposes a master plan development framework targeted towards effective CDW management. The methods used consist of thematic and comparative analyses on data collected from literature, an analytic hierarchy process (AHP) expert supported analysis, followed by a case study application of the developed framework to the context of a developing country. Finally, a microeconomic assessment is carried out.
