India is becoming one of the fastest growing
economies in the world. The country is
urbanising, at light speed, by constructing
flyovers, bridges, residential and commercial
complexes. In the fast-paced progress, the
thought, what about the construction and
demotion (CD) waste? is lost somewhere. Accordi
ng to the Indian Express, the CD waste in the
country was not looked upon separately until two
years ago. Although, with new rules being added
to the court of law, CD wastes have been
recognised to be managed as an individual
entity. As responsible citizens, we need to take
care of our environment. Shah Talati, one of
the best project management consultants in
Vadodara, recommend adopting recycling of
construction waste. First things first. Lets
take a look at the 5 ways in which we can recycle
the construction waste, in an effort to save the
environment from our actions.

1. Reconstructing Old Buildings into New
Ones Waste obtained during the demolition of
buildings include windows, doors, masonry, iron
and steel rods, wooden structures, plastic bags,
etc. The waste collected can be used during the
construction of new buildings or spaces. While
remodelling buildings, the walls need not be
demolished, instead they can be renovated or
repurposed.

2. Segregating Waste Add a storage room on your
site and place clearly labelled bins in there.
These bins will be used to dispose of different
types of waste. A training session will have to
be put into motion for employees to teach them
the basics of the segregation procedures. 3.
Tuning in with a Local Recycling Centre Instead
of piling up the waste, it would be better to
send it to your nearest recycling centre which
can be recovered for later use. Timely recycling
will help in less accumulation of wastes and
enhance cleanliness.

4. Getting Rid of Harmful Waste Try eliminating
construction waste that is harmful to the health
and environment. Limit the use of hazardous
metals on site as they can pose a serious threat
to health. Everything cannot be recycled, things
that are of no use should be directly thrown
away.

5. Adopting Deconstruction not Demolition Huge
tons of harmful pollutants are released in the
atmosphere during the construction of a project.
Along with this a lot of waste is produced that
can hamper visibility and may even cause health
problems in the surrounding areas. Deconstruction
can start the trend of reusing certain materials
for further construction purposes. Not only this,
but it also helps in preserving resources,
minimizing landfills waste, and may also generate
employment. Disassembling will allow project
management consultants to reuse most of the
construction waste in projects where the budget
may be scarce.

There have to be more ways in which we can make
the lives of the next generation better if we
tried hard enough. With the combined effort of
the government, construction companies,
architectural firms, and every individual that
uses the building and public spaces, we can
achieve a greater impact. Structural designers
and consultants lay the foundation stone before
construction of any infrastructure. Environmental
awareness is the need of the hour. It requires
quick action before it's too late! Shah Talati
