Analysis of Construction Waste Management in Rural and Urban Areas Based on C and D Waste Management Plan

Abstract

This study presents an analysis of proposed environmental management plan (EMP) for construction waste management (CWM) in India. It gives the environmental effect analysis due to gradual increase in the rate of construction and waste generation. LCT plays a role in proper selection of materials and their efficient use dividing based on LCA and LCC, and it goes with the behavioural analysis of contractors and workers in the site. The EMP defines actions and activities for different phases and pinpoints the methods and procedures across the entire building process. Finally, it is applied to two groups of case studies showing the difference between CWM practices for Low budget buildings and High budget buildings. The outcome shows how the proposed plan can present a novel approach integrating environmental management and best practices for CWM. This shall facilitate complying with National standards and building rating systems for achieving environmental stewardships using waste management rules 2016 by Ministry of Environment Forest and Climate Change (MoEF&CC).
