Abstract
During the past decades, the construction sector has resulted in a great amount of construction and demolition (C&D) waste due to the rapid but intensive urbanization and large construction activities in China. However, C&D wastes have been mainly disposed of landfilling or simple dumping, which triggered lots of concerns of security, health and environmental problems. Based on extensive review on existing studies on C&D waste in China, it was found that previous studies mainly concentrated on the estimation of generation of C&D waste. Therefore, this study has made attempts to figure out: current policies and regulations on C&D waste management and their effective and enforcement; Secondly, we have conducted a comparative analysis between domestic and foreign C&D waste management systems in developed countries, with aiming at pointing out the gaps between China and developed countries from the perspective of environmentally sound management of C&D waste. To summarize, the outcomes of this studies are expected to offer proposals for C&D waste management in China, and provide references for other developing countries in worldwide.
