C&D Waste Recycled Materials - A Circular Economy Solution

Considering the quantum of C&D waste being generated in the country, recycling plants can harness the benefits of circular economy while also protecting the environment against pollutants.
Dr Krishna Murari Soni, Former Addl. Director General, CPWD, New Delhi.

Circular economy is a model of production and use through sharing, reusing, repairing, and recycling existing materials and products as far as possible. It is based on the principles of avoiding waste, use of generated waste, and recycling waste for further use as a resource. Circular economy helps in economic development, employment generation, social welfare, sustainable development, land development, energy conservation, and in slowing down the climate change. Since infrastructure development consumes more than 70% of the materials obtained either from nature or industry, the building industry has to contribute towards circular economy for sustainable development.
