Management of Construction Wastes in Several Typical Projects

Abstract:

Waste management of several typical construction projects was investigated in Hunan area; the project differences were analyzed on the waste amount and components, the increasing environmental impact of construction wastes was discussed. The disposal advices were given on the aspects of reducing, resources and eco-friendship of construction wastes. The environmental impact of construction wastes is permanent and accumulated, and the components are increasing diversified, so, the secondary contaminations are also increasing severe.
