Introduction
Background of the Study
Recycling is one of the best way for us to have a positive impact on the
world in which we live. Recycling is important to both the natural environment and
us. We must act fast as the amount of waste we create is increasing all the time.
Millions of waste construction materials are generated every year around the world
due to following reasons, Demolition of old structure, Destruction of buildings and
structures during earthquakes, buildings.
Responsible management of waste is an essential aspect of sustainable
building. In this context, recycling waste means eliminating waste where possible;
minimizing waste where feasible; and reusing materials which might otherwise
become waste. Solid waste management practices have identified the reduction,
recycling, and reuse of wastes as essential for sustainable management of
resources. Recycling waste can make a contribution to reduce the total
environment impact of the building sector.
Statement of the Problem
The construction of infrastructures related to bridges, highways, water
system and buildings has been increasing from the beginning of the past century;
especially in areas that population density is high. Construction waste consists of
unwanted material produced directly or incidentally by the construction or
industries. It include the unwanted resulting from the alteration, construction
demolition or repair of any buildings or other structures.
Recycling as part of environmental considerations has become a common
feature in the construction industry. Construction and demolition debris is the
waste material that results from the construction, renovation, or demolition of any
structure, including buildings, roads, and bridges. Typical waste components
include Portland cement concrete, asphalt, wood, metal, plastic, and soil. This
waste material has only recently gained attention as concerns about its
environmental impact have developed.
One of the things builders, developers and contractors must consider during
construction, renovation or demolition is where to put all the debris. As on to find
solution most people do in the preservation of the environment and for economic
purposes, studies, researches and experiments are being done to discover new ways
on how to find solution considering where else to put these debris and what can be
done to lessen its disposal to landfills and since there is an increasing
environmental problem regarding the waste disposal to landfills, it is necessary to
think of possible ways ofn how to avoid these problems and at the same time
secure safety and convenience, and that is, to recycle.
Objective of the Study
The objective of this study is to help our environment lessen the waste that
came from demolition, renovation, and building constructions by means of
recycling and eliminate waste as a priority.
Theoritical / Conceptual Frameworks
The waste issue
Waste is generated on building sites during each phase of the building life cycle.
Evidence suggests that C&D waste may represent up to 50% of all waste to
landfills in Philippines and the majority of waste to cleanfills or C&D dumps. That
means that up to 1.7 million tonnes of C&D waste is sent to landfills every year
and similar amounts to cleanfills.
Typical construction waste skip, measured by weight
Hypotheses
~ How can recycling of construction materials helps every engineer or
contructor.
~ How can Recycling of construction materials saves money?
~ What are the materials to be recycle?
Scope and Limitation
Construction projects can produce some of the most incredible, awe
inspiring, and at the very least, useful creations envisioned by man. Along with
these functional wonders though, construction projects are well known for
producing immense amounts of waste. The construction and demolition industry is
responsible for creating more waste than any other industry per year.
This doesnt have to be though. Construction professionals have a bevy of actions
available to them that can help construction sites reduce waste and become more
environmentally conscious.
Significance of study
Recycling is one of the best ways for you to have a positive impact on the
world in which we live. Recycling is important to both the natural environment and
us. We must act fast as the amount of waste we create is increasing all the time.
Millions of tons of waste concrete are generated every year around the world due
to following reasons, Demolition of old structure, Destruction of buildings and
structures during earthquakes and wars, Removal of useless concrete from
structures, buildings, road pavements etc.
Recycling of materials can make a contribution to reduce the total
environmental impact of the building sector. To increase the scope for recycling in
the future, aspects of recycling have to be included in the design phase.
Definition of Terms:
Asphalt
a mixture of such substances with gravel, crushed rock, or the like, used
for paving.
Concrete
a heavy, rough building material made from a mixture of broken stone or
gravel, sand, cement, and water, that can be spread or poured into molds and
that forms a stonelike mass on hardening.
Asphalt shingles
is a type of wall or roof shingle that uses asphalt for waterproofing.
Gypsum drywall
(also known as plasterboard, wallboard,gypsum panel, sheet rock,
or gypsum board) is a panel made of calcium sulfate dihydrate (gypsum)
with or without additives and normally pressed between a facer and a
backer.
Wood
the hard fibrous material that forms the main substance of the trunk or
branches of a tree or shrub.
Metals
a solid material that is typically hard, shiny, malleable, fusible, and ductile,
with good electrical and thermal conductivity
