Enhancing Construction and Demolition Waste Management Programs at NEUST Sumacab Campus: Assessment and Strategic Improvements
Downloads
Construction waste management is crucial for sustainable urban development. At NEUST Sumacab Campus, effective waste handling is essential to minimize environmental impact. This study evaluates the efficiency of the current construction and demolition waste (CDW) management system and identifies areas for improvement. A structured approach was used, incorporating surveys and site observations. Data were gathered from key stakeholders, including NEUST’s Infrastructure and Development Office, contractors, engineers, architects, and foremen, to assess perceptions and practices.
Findings indicate that while some aspects of the waste management system are functional, the overall effectiveness is low, with a rating of 2.47, classified as “rarely.” The study highlights the need for improved recycling efforts and better waste management strategies to enhance sustainability on campus. Strengthening waste segregation, recycling, and disposal methods can significantly improve environmental outcomes. These insights contribute to developing a more efficient construction waste management program for NEUST Sumacab Campus, promoting sustainable construction practices.
