Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is considered an innovative tool to analyze environmental impacts make decisions aimed at improving the performance of building materials and construction processes throughout different life cycle stages, including design, construction, use, operation, end-of-life (EOL). Therefore, during last two decades, interest in applying this field has increased, number article...

There have been efforts to use building demolition waste as an alternative aggregate in concrete decrease the of natural resources for construction. The World Green Building Council estimates that construction industry is responsible more than 50% all material extracted globally and makes up 35% global landfills. As a result, incorporating recycled (RA) production prudent course action reduce e...

The built environment sector is under increasing pressure to reduce costs while improving environmental quality. This paper examines Kuwait’s current construction and demolition waste (CDW) management policy, highlights the obstacles faced by recycling processes suggests solutions enhance practices. Kuwait has only one landfill dedicated exclusively CDW, operating since 2009. Even though facili...

The European Union has issued action plans to reduce the production of construction waste and increase reuse recycling materials in hope triggering a rapid transition towards Circular Economy (CE). management demolition waste, however, struggles apply these measures. Our purpose, therefore, is analyse how different actors involved could contribute transform existing practices so that they respo...

Construction and demolition waste (CDW) is the third-most abundant generated annually in countries of European Union. One alternatives to use these wastes geopolymeric materials. Partial replacement commonly used raw materials for production can help reduce number landfills consumption natural resources. In this study, authors partially replaced metakaolin fly ash with clay bricks concrete debr...
