Abstract

Demolition waste is waste from the destruction of houses, large building structures, roads, bridges and dams. The construction industry in India generates about 10-12 million tons of waste every year. Although reusable items (such as bricks, wood, metal) are recycled in India, old concrete and masonry (>50%) are recycled. Half of all waste is not recycled. Demolition waste (C&D) authorities sometimes make rules, but often do not follow these rules. The report is expected to become a pilot project. The purpose of this study is to collect relevant literature to provide information on the demolition waste disposal strategies of different countries and the role of regulatory agencies in demolition waste disposal. Disassemble waste, its harmful effects and provide safe methods of recycling/reuse/disposal. Based on this research, a C&D waste management plan was developed. In order for the demolition to be carried out effectively, the plan needs to be proposed and implemented by the local government, which will greatly reduce the pollution caused by construction and demolition waste.
