The primary objective of the study was to identify the practical constrains, challenges, legal aspects related to existing policies and framework, and prospects of utilizing construction and demolition wastes in India in general and particularly in urban scenario with the background of recyclable and/or recovery potential in major developed economies.
A major portion of C&D waste is generally dumped in landfills or unauthorized places in India causing considerable ecological damage. Several barriers such as inadequate regulations, lack of incentives, lack of awareness about recycling techniques, and unavailability of guidelines have been reported to hinder setting up recycling facilities in India.
These recycling processes can decrease carbon emissions up to 15% for fresh concrete and 50% for bituminous concrete (Jain and Singh, 2022;Xiao et al., 2022). ...
While C&D waste was earlier typically sent to dump sites in many countries, in the past 20 years or so there has been a greater appreciation of the reuse and recycling possibilities of the waste into construction material (recycled aggregate concrete, manufactured sand, etc.) and its implication for the conservation of natural resources.
