“…According to the results of structural equation modeling the hypothesis has been accepted. In past research (Paz & Lafayette, 2016) has also tested this hypothesis which was accepted. Our second hypothesis was low waste material purchase management (LWMPM) has a positive and significant influence on the construction waste reduction.…”

Waste disposal has become an issue worldwide and the major cause of this issue is considered to be the construction activities producing wastes. Pakistan being the 6 most populated country in the world is considered to have a huge amount of waste due to the various construction and particularly megaprojects and this amount of construction waste is increasing consistently in the country. Pakistan produces of construction waste per year and is increasing annually by 2%. These increasing wastes and issues associated with these construction wastes lead to a crucial need for improvement of waste management practices in the construction industry of the country through various measures. Despite of the large need for waste minimization research in Pakistan, , deductive approach was used, and quantitative method was selected, the present study has used cross-sectional design. The researcher used a sample of 323 individuals and conducted a questionnaire-based study.

“…Sepasgozar et al (2021) stated that rapid urbanization and infrastructure development projects have increased the unlimited regeneration of construction projects in developed countries. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Building Information Models (BIM) are very helpful in the construction waste management process to minimize environmental impacts which are included in green construction elements (Paz et al, 2020). Doan et al (2021) stated that current contractor drivers are identified as basic operations-based strengths, which include waste segregation/waste management processes, basic resource efficiency, occupant comfort, and awareness of care.…”

Green construction is a sustainable movement that aims to create environmentally friendly construction starting from the planning, implementation, to the use of construction materials that are environmentally friendly and efficient in the use of resources. This study aims to examine the implementation of green construction strategies in construction projects in Jakarta, as well as analyze the optimization of sustainable green construction strategies post Covid-19 pandemic. This research is qualitative research using a case study approach. Primary data was obtained through indepth interviews and FGD. Construction companies in Jakarta are expected to have concrete actions to optimize green construction strategies, one of which is strategic action by using green technology in construction. The strategy of green construction companies is to take innovative steps in creating environmentally friendly construction by using efficient resources to create environmentally friendly green construction. The next strategy is sustainability action, in which green construction companies try to create environmental sustainability so that the role of innovators in the field of green construction is needed, especially for construction companies that apply green technology. The main strategies are financial benefits for stakeholders, public policies in facilitating green construction, government support and knowledge development in green construction. Comprehensive and well-planned sustainable green construction management is a long-term investment for the construction industry. To achieve the sustainability of the green construction industry, companies that use green technology play an important role. Supported by using the ISPHI method, they can become leading innovators in implementing post-Covid-19 sustainable green construction strategies in Jakarta.

“…Unfortunately, as a consequence, negative impacts on urban centers are commonly observed. Paz, Lafayette and Sobral (2020) mapped and evaluated 857 illegal dumping sites in the Metropolitan Region of Recife/Brazil, analyzing 7 municipalities and identifying the types of waste improperly deposited (Paz, Lafayette, &. Sobral, 2020).…”

The construction industry plays a fundamental role in the economy of a developing country, representing, in most of them, approximately 3.7% to 10.5% of its Gross Domestic Product. However, it is extremely important to search for sustainable alternatives in this sector, aiming to reduce the environmental impacts generated by the production of inputs, waste generation, in addition to the inappropriate disposal of this activity in the environment. Therefore, the work aimed to evaluate the technical and economic feasibility of the incorporation of residues (Marble and Granite Cutting Waste—MW and Construction and Demolition Waste—CDW) in the production of soil cement bricks (SCB). For the development of the present work, physical and mechanical characterization of the soil, residues (CDW and MW), composites (Control, MW15%, MW25%, MW50%, MW100%, MW30%CDW70%) were performed. After manufacturing the bricks, the characterizations mentioned were carried out at 7, 28 and 60 days, in addition to the evaluation of the geometric characteristics, water absorption and strength of the bricks and microscopic analysis of the post-rupture fragments. Additionally, a cost analysis of the use of SCB was performed compared to two different construction systems (ceramic brick and concrete block). From the results of physical characterization, soil was classified as clayey-silty sand (SC-SM), while the CDW was well-graded sand and MW as sandy clay. Soil and composite plasticity characteristics ranged from weakly plastic (MW15% and MW30%CDW70%) to highly plastic (MW100%). In the compaction tests, composites with the addition of MW presented increasing values in terms of optimal moisture. The compressive strength test performed showed satisfactory results for all composites, especially for MW25%, which obtained the most significant result with 13.777 kPa at 28 days. Thus, it is concluded that the incorporation of CDW and MW for the production of SCB represents a sustainable application for civil construction.
