I. Research Problem
The construction of infrastructures related to bridges, highways, water

system and buildings has been increasing from the beginning of the past century;

especially in areas that population density is high.

Recycling as part of environmental considerations has become a common feature in the

construction industry. Construction and demolition debris is the waste material that results from

the construction, renovation, or demolition of any structure, including buildings, roads, and

bridges. Typical waste components include Portland cement concrete, asphalt, wood, metal,

plastic, and soil. This waste material has only recently gained attention as concerns about its

environmental impact have developed.

II. Objectives

~Reduce, Reuse, Recycle Construction waste materials.

~ Use products and materials that reduce waste.

~Use /second-hand materials.


.

~salvaged Recycling and reusing waste that is created on the job

III. Theoritical / Conceptual Frameworks


The waste issue

Waste is generated on building sites during each phase of the building life cycle.
Evidence suggests that C&D waste may represent up to 50% of all waste to landfills
in Philippines and the majority of waste to cleanfills or C&D dumps. That means that
up to 1.7 million tonnes of C&D waste is sent to landfills every year and similar
amounts to cleanfills.

Typical construction waste skip, measured by weight

IV. Hypothesis

~ How can reducting of construction materials helps every engineer or contructor.

~ How can Reduction of construction materials saves money?

V. Scope and Limitation


Construction projects can produce some of the most incredible, awe inspiring, and
at the very least, useful creations envisioned by man. Along with these functional
wonders though, construction projects are well known for producing immense
amounts of waste. The construction and demolition industry is responsible for
creating more waste than any other industry per year. This doesnt have to be though.
Construction professionals have a bevy of actions available to them that can help
construction sites reduce waste and become more environmentally conscious.

VI. Significance of study

Recycling is one of the best ways for you to have a positive impact on the

world in which we live. Recycling is important to both the natural environment and

us. We must act fast as the amount of waste we create is increasing all the time.

Millions of tons of waste concrete are generated every year around the world due to

following reasons, Demolition of old structure, Destruction of buildings and

structures during earthquakes and wars, Removal of useless concrete from

structures, buildings, road pavements etc.

Recycling of materials can make a contribution to reduce the total

environmental impact of the building sector. To increase the scope for recycling in

the future, aspects of recycling have to be included in the design phase.
