Abstract
Elimination of waste through the efficient use of project resources is fundamental for a state of zero waste. Despite the growing global recognition of the environmental impacts associated with the generation and management of waste across industries, the construction industry, and, in particular, the construction and demolition (C&D) sector, continues to generate a large amount of waste. Furthermore, the majority of the efforts designed to find solutions to total waste elimination have largely focused on the macro and micro levels.
