Abstract Due to the rapid growth of building sector, a tremendous amount waste is generated, which has become an alarming issue for every country. Therefore, there substantial need implement sustainable way minimize construction solid (CSW), generated through activities. Construction management (CSWM) essential method fostering sustainability in industry. It considered as one indispensable advantages, are stipulated green systems (GBRSs). The aim this study explore potentials various GBRSs minimizing by activities Iraqi sector. Firstly, description research methodology provided based on systematic review and text mining approach. Then, An extensive CSW well recent trends implementation minimization Iraq. After that, applications addressed. Next, major challenges obstacles application Finally, concluding remarks withdrawn. Based findings, it was found that can be concluded reuse, reduce recycling principles have worldwide phenomenon. However, previous studies not achievement CWM along with promotion within information beneficial both researchers practitioners.
