TechCrunch reports the amount of waste produced by the construction industry adds up to more than a third of the overall waste produced each year in the European Union. And it’s no better in the U.S., where the construction industry produces more than double the waste that households do each year. https://lnkd.in/d88b_Yjf #construction #digitaltwins

💡 Did you know that #Construction and #DemolitionWaste (CDW) represents the largest waste stream by production? In 2022, the Czech Republic alone generated nearly 24 million tons of CDW, making up 60.9% of all waste. Similarly, Slovakia produced 4.6 million tons, accounting for over 43% of its total waste. Despite the substantial volume, #CDW holds immense potential for #recycling and reuse. ♻️ However, a significant portion still ends up unaccounted for. Why is this happening? And what steps can we take to maximize the recycling of construction materials? In our latest blog post, we delve into: 🔍 The staggering statistics and impact of CDW on the environment. 🔧 The new #regulations in Slovakia requiring builders to #recycle at least 70% of #ConstructionWaste for projects over 300 m². ♻️ Innovative strategies for selective demolition and the importance of thorough pre-demolition audits. 🚜 Challenges in the Czech Republic regarding the recycling and energy recovery of construction waste. Join us as we explore how effective management and recycling of construction waste can lead to significant environmental and economic benefits. 🔗 Read the full blog post here: https://lnkd.in/eCn59AyT Are you facing the challenge of a sustainable demolition? 🏗️ Discover how our Circular Demolition service can guide you through the process, ensuring maximum recovery and safe disposal of materials.

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

Excited to share insights on sustainable waste management practices in construction, Let's transform the construction industry towards a greener and more efficient future! 🌍🏗️ 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗪𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 🚧 Work Breakdown Structure (WBS):🔍 Implementing a detailed WBS allows us to break down construction projects into manageable work packages. This not only aids in effective monitoring but also serves as a foundation for streamlined waste management at each level. Identifying and categorizing waste at the sub-element level ensures a comprehensive approach. Construction Waste Classification:🚮 Understanding the types of construction waste is crucial. Categorizing waste into inert and non-inert components provides a basis for appropriate disposal and recycling strategies. By recognizing specific waste types such as concrete, metal, and plastics, we can tailor waste management plans to maximize resource recovery. Solutions for Construction Waste Management:🌐 Addressing waste management requires a multi-faceted approach. Education, legislation reinforcement, behavioral change, collaboration, effective communication, and innovative construction practices are crucial elements. By embracing these solutions, we can minimize waste generation and enhance resource efficiency. Waste Hierarchy for Construction:🔄 Following the waste hierarchy is pivotal. By prioritizing prevention, preparing for re-use, recycling, and exploring other recovery methods, we can significantly reduce the need for disposal. This approach aligns with environmental sustainability goals and encourages responsible waste management. Waste Estimation Methods:📏 Accurate waste estimation is fundamental. Various methods, including total waste quantity based on project size, site visit approaches, and waste index calculations, provide valuable insights. Implementing these methods allows for proactive waste management planning and resource allocation. Let's drive change together! 🌱💪 . . . . #constructionwaste #wastemanagement #sustainibility #greenbuilding #wastereduction #innovationinconstruction
