Abstract
Environmental contamination due to construction and demolition (C&D) waste management is a global issue. It is an even bigger issue specifically for developing countries that encounter different obstacles due to the construction industry’s practices caused by a lack of knowledge and the economic status of these countries. The aim of this study is to review various research conducted in developed and developing countries so as to identify the significant problems and to seek appropriate ways to implement the management of C&D waste in developing countries. The findings of this research were grouped into seven (7) areas, which include the economy, knowledge across the industry, storage and cross-contamination of wastes, technology, design for deconstruction, legislation, and environmental health. Each barrier is attached with a strategy appropriate for developing nations, which would improve the C & D waste management industry if implemented. This study’s results can be used as a reference for further research into these barriers to develop comprehensive strategies that will significantly improve the C&D waste management industry.
