nasscom insights 3 R'S IN CONSTRUCTION WASTE MANAGEMENT CAN BRING REVOLUTION TOWARDS SUSTAINABLE FUTURE Construction Waste or debris refers to any substance, or matter generated as a by-product of the construction. This waste could be in any form. The debris could be a result of processing, a mixture of surplus, or anything abandoned before the finishing of the construction. Near about 90% of the waste generated in the United States, the majority of it arises from demolition. This paper intends to draw a few reasons for the types of waste generated and what preventive measures could be taken to reduce it. {1} The global construction & demolition waste market is estimated to be USD 34.4 billion by 2026, at a CAGR of 5.3% during the forecast period. The global market is primarily driven by many ongoing and upcoming building & construction as well as demolition projects in developing countries. {2} https://lnkd.in/dVKsUUmk
