| dc.description.abstract | Sri Lanka is currently a developing country, with the construction industry playing a
significant role in the country’s overall development. With the development of largescale
construction projects comes an increase in construction waste. Construction waste
has made the construction industry a major contributor to environmental degradation
and pollution, causing negative impacts for on the construction industry as well as
the country’s economy. Therefore, construction waste management is significant
for a country’s development. Construction waste management in building projects
in Sri Lanka was addressed in this study, which identified the dominant types of
construction waste, current practices, and issues of construction waste management.
The paper concludes by recommending sustainable waste management methods and
waste quantification methods. | en_US |
