The construction & demolition waste is the waste generated at the places where construction & demolition activities take place such as, building roads, bridges, flyover, remodeling, and also at municipal streams, individual houses, commercial, industrial, residential areas. The construction & demolition waste consists mainly of inert and non-biodegradable material such as plastic, cement concrete, steel, wood, masonry waste, and other materials.
While the construction & demolition waste has retrievable items like plastic, wood, steel, and other materials and provides several social, environmental, and economic benefits, the inclination towards construction & demolition waste is growing. These factors are ensuring global acceptance of the construction & demolition solutions.
However, reduced construction activities due to Covid-19 impact, illegal dumping of construction & demolition waste restraining from waste collection, weak institutional & regulatory aspects, and construction & demolition waste not being retrieved and recycled in many countries are likely to hamper the global construction & demolition waste market.
Factors such as increasing construction activities, increasing contamination level of construction and waste material, replacement of construction stone used in road and building construction, manufacturing of new wood products from retrieved wood from construction and waste sources, improving government’s role towards sustainability are driving the global construction & demolition waste market.
