Abstract

With the development of urbanization, many projects transport waste, demolition waste, decoration waste, and so on leading to the growth of urban construction waste. Construction waste has become an urgent problem in environmentally sustainable development. This paper analyzes the status of construction waste in Singapore. Studying the application of Smart Integrated Construction System (SICS) in the materials sustainable supply chain field. It is found that this process can be fully efficient and sustainable in the building transportation system. At the same time, this process cycle is also more suitable for construction waste management, so we propose Construction Waste Management Framework (CWMF) in-depth research through the analogy SICS. CWMF efficient, economical, and sustainable disposal of construction waste to achieve sustainable development.
