Abstract:
... Understanding waste generation flow is vital to any evidence-based effort by policy-makers and practitioners to successfully manage construction project waste. Previous research has found that accumulative waste generation in construction projects follows an S-curve, but improving our understanding of waste generation requires its investigation at a higher level of granularity. Such efforts, howev ...

Abstract:
... This research was motivated by the intriguing phenomena across several economies that green building clients/developers are observably lukewarm in pursuing construction waste management (CWM). Recent studies, most of them in a qualitative nature, reported that to obtain CWM-related credits is “costlier” than obtaining credits from other green building aspects such as sites, lighting, and so on.

Abstract:
... In many European countries, waste tariff systems are being updated to take account of the consolidation of circular economy objectives. We forecast the impact of a gain-sharing cost-reflective tariff on waste management sustainability. The cost-reflective tariff generates an economic surplus for society, while meeting environmental goals. Based on empirical data we developed two scenarios. The bas ...

One popular guideline for this purpose in OECD countries has been waste hierarchies, such as the European waste hierarchy and the 3R approach to "reduce, reuse, recycle", applied to food. Yet despite their popularity, waste hierarchies applied to food are not systematically being impleme ...
