This book was released on with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Available online: https://pub.norden.org/temanord2023-544/ This publication addresses the challenges in managing Construction and Demolition Waste (CDW) in the Nordic countries including an outlook on other European countries. Despite a 70% recovery target, the Nordics lag behind due to economic, legislative, and social barriers. The study emphasizes the need for better CDW statistics and highlights successful European initiatives. Key findings include that the barriers do not seem to be technical feasibility, but rather include economic obstacles, and regional variations in recycling. Recommendations include unified approaches, regulations, and stronger incentives for reuse and recycling of CDW. The study advocates waste prevention through reuse and design strategies for future constructions, emphasizing collaboration within the Nordics and the EU.

Download or read book Reuse of Materials and Byproducts in Construction written by Alan Richardson and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-09-24 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The construction industry is the largest single waste producing industry in the UK. Ensuring a supply chain of recycled materials affords many potential gains, achieved through: reducing the material volume transported to already over-burdened landfill sites, possible cost reductions to the contractor/client when considering the landfill tax saved and the potential for lower cost material replacements, a reduction in the environmental impact of quarrying and the saving of depleting natural material resources. Reuse of Materials and Byproducts in Construction: Waste Minimization and Recycling addresses use of waste and by products in the construction industry. An over view of new “green” design guides to encourage best practice will be examined and current legislation that channels on site practices, such as site waste management plans. Fundamental individual construction materials are discussed and the process of reforming by products and waste products into new construction materials is investigated, examining the material performance, energy required to convert waste into new products and viability of recycling. The main range of constructional materials will be examined. Aimed at postgraduate students, lecturers and researchers in construction and civil engineering, the book will also be of interest to professional design practices.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As we are living in 21st century, new technologies are being invented in almost every sector to make human life fast and easier. Beside this we are still finding the solutions to problems related to our environment, energy and natural resources. Construction industry produces large amount of waste throughout the year. Most of the time construction and demolition waste ends up in landfills disturbing environmental, economical and social life cycle. Construction and demolition waste is the waste materials that are produced in the process of construction, renovation or demolition of residential or nonresidential structures. Components of construction and demolition waste typically include concrete, asphalt, wood, metals, gypsum wallboard, roofing, paper, plastic, drywall and glass. Sustainable development is a development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs; and can be considered as one of the solution to solve construction and demolition waste problem. Sustainable development in construction will help a lot to reduce the problems related to environment and natural resources as construction industry is a major user of world's resources. Sustainable design, proper use and reuse of the resources/construction materials will make construction industry more economical and green. Concrete is the second most consumed material after water, so recycling of concrete can save construction costs also it will help to keep environment healthy. Concrete collected from sites is put through crushing machine, usually uncontaminated concrete i.e. free from wood, plastic, paper and other unwanted materials. Metals such as rebar are removed with the help of magnets and other sorting devices. In many countries like Japan, United States, United Kingdom various recycling techniques are being used and returning good results. Process of recycling construction and demolition waste includes storage, sorting, collection, transportation, recycling and disposing. Recycling methods used in japan are heating and rubbing methods, eccentric-shaft rotor method and Mechanical grinding method. Recycling of Construction and demolition waste has many benefits such as reduction in transportation cost, it keeps environment clean and reduces natural resource exploitation. To promote recycling and reuse of waste, awareness about its effects and benefits should be communicated with people, contractors, engineers and architects. More numbers of recycling plants should be installed and allowing the use of recycled aggregate instead of natural aggregate for some purpose. In this paper I am going to focus on different recycling techniques and reuse of construction and demolition waste.

Download or read book Construction Demolition and Disaster Waste Management written by Erik K. Lauritzen and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-09-03 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Construction and Demolition Waste (CDW), from the construction, maintenance, renovation and demolition of buildings and structures, represents a large proportion of the waste in industrialized societies. Compared to other forms, such as household waste, more than 90% of CDW can be used as a resource and a substitute for construction materials, especially for primary, natural raw materials. Reuse, recovery and recycling depends on the quality and market for the materials, and the environmental impact of the processes for conversion of CDW from old structures to its use in new structures. However, the utilization today of CDW products as secondary resources is marginal. Most CDW is deposited or used as fill material, and the opportunities of high quality recycling are generally neglected. This book presents the opportunities for the sustainable and resource efficient utilisation of CDW, focusing on recycling of concrete and masonry as the major forms of CDW. The recycling of gypsum, timber, mineral wool, asphalt and other types are also described. Its aim is to present a chain of value and material streams in the transformation of obsolete buildings and structures into new buildings and structures. It takes a holistic view, focusing on the lifecycle economy (the circular economy) and integrated management aspects of various scenarios ranging from high industrial urban renewal to debris removal and management after disasters and conflicts. It is based on the author ́s 35 years of research and development combined with practical international experience within the demolition and recycling area. It addresses students, architects, civil engineers, building owners, public authorities and others working in urban planning, demolition and resource management in the building and construction sector and in the reconstruction of damaged buildings after disasters and wars.

Download or read book An Evaluation of Material Stocks and Flows Found During Construction and Demolition Activities in the Philadelphia Region of the United States written by Kimberlee Angelita Marcellus-Zamora and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When you throw something away, where is away? The infrastructure to support the built environment is a big consumer of energy and valuable natural resources. The waste managers' sustainability battle-cry 'reduce, reuse, recycle' is becoming more popular within the construction industry however more research and data are necessary to provide proof of success. Recycling C&D waste is relatively easy to achieve on construction sites, but difficult to track and quantify. Waste generated from construction and demolition (C&D) activities are rich in salvageable, reusable, and recyclable content. Determining the material fractions present in waste flows, stocked materials, and secondary markets is critical to understanding the value of these resources and extending their use in the economy by refurbishment, recycling or new use. Construction waste management (CWM) has a cross section of designers, contractors, and decision makers and we need to make the life cycle pathway of materials in construction/demolition processes more transparent to construction industry stakeholders. Providing better transparency in these materials may motivate these individuals to recycle and reuse demolished materials, reduce consumption of virgin materials and to begin to document this progress regionally. This dissertation provides three papers with the goal of quantifying and evaluating environmental and resource management aspects of materials that are: 1) stocked in place, 2) present in waste flows, and 3) retired and installed during renovation activities. This research informs the waste management industry on building material movement and strategies for their reuse and recycle in Philadelphia. The first study shows that characterizing buildings by land use type is a viable means for determining materials stocked in place in buildings located in the city of Philadelphia. The method could be applicable to other cities in the US with similar patterns of development and urban form as Philadelphia, the city tested herein. The second study conducts data acquisition from unconventional sources including United States Green Building Council (USGBC) completed projects database, private industry waste reclamation facility (WRF) annual waste diversion data as a means to qualify materials found in C&D waste flows. We provide a contemporary C&D waste MFA dataset and find major fractions present in the WRF flows. The last study demonstrates atypical methods for sampling C&D waste data in the city of Philadelphia through publicly available data. We sample data from local governments that have not been previously used in industrial ecology research in order to characterize waste that is generated during permitting activities. The method could be applied in other urban centers in the US. The thesis demonstrates that industrial ecology tools, when combined with private data and alternative and publicly available data sources can describe and potentially quantify waste materials that are being diverted from landfills.
