Construction waste management is becoming an emerging issue in light of the massive increase construction activities developing economies as part their rapid economic growth. The gradual tightening building regulations towards energy consumption creates need to decrease materials and components during construction, one proposed ways achieve it reuse. can be initially designed for disassembly (DfD) improve optimize process, thus proposing significant benefits circular economy all three sustainability pillars (economic, social, environmental).
