STUDY AND ANALYSIS OF ZERO WASTE MANAGEMENT IN CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY

Abstract

The development of the nation's infrastructure depends heavily on the construction industry. Construction waste, however, is the issue that the industry is currently facing. Compared to other industries, the construction industry produces more waste. Waste is produced throughout the construction process at various stages such as excessive cement mix procedures, concrete materials left over after work is finished owing to design changes, rework, destruction, and subpar craftsmanship, etc. Additionally, all of the resources utilised in building operations end up being wasted, which raises the project's cost, lowers its profitability, and has a detrimental effect on the environment. Waste from construction projects is challenging to recycle. Additionally, cities lack enough area for waste disposal.Waste is a representation of resource misallocation and the inefficiencies of any modern society.
