Application of 3R Principles in Construction Project-A Review

Gomathi S, Pradeep T

Abstract


Now a days recycling of waste in and around the world becomes a challenge today. Primarily, due to materials markets particularly secondary materials are yet to be integrated. The 3R principles like Reducing, Reusing and recycling of waste have been engaged over the years, and in this regard. The different techniques have been explored. However, the applications are limited to economic and environmental aspects. This paper discusses the expenses and settlement in use derivative resources and focal point on investigating use again and recycles for main wealth of building resources which may include concrete, metal, wood, cardboard/paper and plasterboard etc. Data pertaining to the resources are obtained from demolition specialists and contractors. From the literatures it clearly shows, that the construction material recovery process with fully incorporated 3R's principle contributes to saving energy and natural resources.
