Construction and Demolition Waste (CDW)
Construction and Demolition Waste (CDW) refers to the debris generated during the building, renovation, or demolition of structures. It includes materials such as concrete, brick, wood, metals, glass, and plastics. Proper management of CDW is essential to reduce environmental impact, conserve resources through recycling, and minimize waste sent to landfills. Effective handling involves separating recyclable materials on-site, encouraging reuse, and following regulations to ensure safe disposal. Overall, managing CDW responsibly supports sustainable construction practices and reduces the strain on landfill space.
