Construction and Demolition Waste Management in Hong Kong: Practices and Challenges
The huge amount of construction and demolition (C&D) waste entering landfills in Hong Kong have stressed the environment severely. To alleviate its adverse impacts, the local government and the construction industry have adopted a set of measures since the early 1980s. This study is conducted with an attempt to provide insights into the C&D waste management practice in Hong Kong, based on which some barriers hindering the future C&D waste management could be identified. The major method adopted for collecting data is a comprehensive review of all related scholarly papers, governmental legislations, and official statistics and reports. The challenges proposed in this paper are beneficial to both researchers and industry practitioners, since they could develop further research and C&D waste management plan accordingly.
