Define construction wastes and in which areas do we normally find these? Why do you think a lot of constructions wastes are generated these days?
Waste which
consists of unwanted material produced by the construction or industries is
known as the construction waste. Building materials such as insulation, nails,
electrical wiring, shingle, and roofing as well as waste produced from site
preparation such as dredging materials, tree stumps, and rubble are included in
construction waste. Lead, asbestos, or other hazardous substances are also
present in this kind of waste.
Construction
wastes are found in a large amount in urban areas as compared to rural areas.
The main reason for this difference is that there is more construction in the
urban areas than the rural areas.
A lot of
construction wastes are generated these days. The main reason for this increase
is the fastest growth of construction industry which is very important for the
growth of economy. There is also lack of an efficient waste management system
which can control the waste at source and manage the waste at every stage of construction
project.
