Sustainable methods for waste minimisation in construction

Yates, J.K.

–

The purpose of this article is to provide scenarios for the incorporation of sustainable waste minimisation strategies that were determined during a research project that investigated sustainable engineering and construction processes.

Design/methodology/approach –

The research included a thorough review of sustainable engineering and construction practices throughout the world and the collection of additional information from high-level executives from some of the top ranked global engineering and construction firms. The research was limited to collecting data from high-level engineering and construction executives since they were the most knowledgeable about the use of sustainable strategies within their firm.

Findings –

The results determined the main types of construction waste and sustainable strategies that could be used to minimise the amount of waste generated by the construction industry.

Research limitations/implications –

he research was limited to collecting data from high-level engineering and construction executives since they were the most knowledgeable about the use of sustainable strategies within their firms. The research could affect members of the engineering and construction industry, since it provides methods for implementing sustainable strategies that help to reduce the amount of waste generated by the construction industry.

Originality/value –

The research is unique because it addressed waste minimisation strategies for the building construction industry and for the industrial and heavy/highway construction industries.
