“Development of Efficient Protocols and Waste Management in Construction Industry”

Abstract

The construction industry is one of the biggest sectors regarding infrastructure and economy. It contributes tremendously to the GDP of a nation. Nevertheless, construction processes yield formidable debris that creates contamination and environmental sustainability hindrances. Construction activities that are inefficient, material that is mishandled, recycling techniques that are ineffective and also waste management practices that are inefficient, are increasing costs and harming the environment. The current study concentrates on formulating effective ways and eco-friendly waste management methods for the construction sector. This study highlighted several ways in which construction activities can reduce waste like reusing of materials, recycling of waste, lean construction, segregation of waste, and proper site management among others. A quantitative research approach, based on a survey technique, was adopted for the study to analyse the role of efficient protocols on the construction sustainability.  Statistical effectiveness of the construction procedures and waste management techniques; their efficiency on construction and waste reduction effectiveness. It was concluded that protocols that are well-managed and structured can diminish the waste of materials. In addition, these protocols optimize on-site worker efficiency and productivity, as well as lower overall project costs. Such different strategies were also concluded to achieving the environmental sustainability as well.
