“…Notwithstanding these prior studies, no significant importance has been attached to waste in such sustainable design appraisal tools as the UK BREAAM and the US LEED. Most appraisal systems have only considered the extent of material sorting, reuse, and recycling that are incorporated into the management plan (Cha et al, 2009). Currently, 8.5% of possible 110% addresses waste management in BREAAM, while 6.4% of possible 100% address waste management in the Code for Sustainable Homes.…”

“…It involves an agreement between the project team and materials suppliers so that the latter would take back unused materials at the end of construction activities. Evidence shows that by having such provisions in place, waste that is usually caused by materials leftover would not only be prevented, substantial cost savings could be made (Cha et al, 2009). As such, considering the waste efficient contract clause in waste management regulations would engender cost savings and waste diversion from landfill.…”

“…Notwithstanding the advancement in construction waste management research, most efforts have been concentrated on construction stages (Cha et al, 2009;Begum et al, 2007;Al-Hajj and Hamani, 2011). Lately, research into waste efficient design and impacts of design on waste is also gaining popularity (cf.…”

“…According to Osmani et al (2008) and Oyedele et al (2013), materials leftover constitutes significant proportion of total waste generated by construction activities. Thus, flexibility of suppliers in taking back unused materials (Dainty and Brooke, 2004), recyclable materials (Cha et al, 2009), and packaging materials from construction sites are good measures of the extent to which suppliers support waste reduction. Due to this, it is evident that commitment to take back scheme is not only a means of getting the reusable materials back to the market, it is capable of reducing the volume of waste landfilled by the construction industry.…”

Although construction waste occurs during the actual construction activities, there is an understanding that it is caused by activities and actions at design, materials procurement and construction stages of project delivery processes. This study investigates the material procurement and logistics measures for mitigating waste generated by construction activities. In a bid to explore the phenomenon from the perspectives of experts from the construction industry, this study used a combination of descriptive interpretive research and survey approach as its methodological framework.The study suggests that four features characterised waste efficient logistic and procurement process. These include suppliers' commitment to low waste measures, low waste purchase management, effective materials delivery management and waste efficient Bill of Quantity. In addition, the key requisite strategies for mitigating construction waste through materials procurement include commitment to take back scheme , procurement of waste efficient materials/technology and use of minimal packaging. The use of Just-in-Time (JIT) delivery system and prevention of over ordering are also important for mitigating waste through materials procurement processes. These implies that while the key measures are critical success factors for reducing waste through procurement process, the four established features are required of all procurement process. Measures through which the procurement process could enhance waste efficiency are further highlighted and discussed in the paper. Findings of this study could assist in understanding a set of measures that should be taken during materials procurement process, thereby corroborating waste management practices at design and construction stages of project delivery process.

“…The methodology divides knowledge about a process into five main classes which contribute in different levels of waste minimization; crucial knowledge is the one responsible for the initial description of the process, prior knowledge refers to information obtained previously about objects, actors and actions needed to perform, subordinate knowledge is the one without which, the performance of the process might be unsatisfactory or unsuccessful, contextual knowledge refer to the contribution of any situation affecting the perception of the actors or performance of the objects and causal knowledge is identified in the form of relationships between object, actors and variables [9]. The factors of commitment of the parties involved in the implementation of waste management system [10]. Likewise with adequate working environment, reliable cooperation, practice and health workforce can improve the construction waste management system [11].…”

Abstract. Construction waste is being produced by the infrastructure project. Thus, waste minimization is an important area to implementation of the construction waste management in Indonesia. This paper aims to build model of construction waste management and to determine the significantly of factors that can improved construction waste management for Indonesian infrastructure projects. This study identified 20 factors to improve the construction waste management that grouped into 5 groups, they are policy, asset, technology, human resources and knowledge. Methods of research carried out by site observation and discussion with contractors using questionnaire instrument and focusing to contractors engaged in various type infrastructure projects in Indonesia with amount of 383 respondents. The 5 groups of factors were developed into AMOS-SEM model to determine significant level in contributing to construction waste management. Data was analyzed uses the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) techniques with the aid of Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS) statistical package to overcome these factors, where a family of statistical models that seek to explain the relationships of covariant among multiple variables were formulated by combining a measurement model with structural model into a statistical test. The model will be recommandation to improve construction waste management for Indonesian infrastructure projects future.
