Towards a Circular, Sustainable, and Zero-Waste Construction Industry: Investigating Innovative and Efficient Solutions for Construction Composite Products Recycling with Technical, Environmental, and Economic Considerations

The motivation for our project is to address the growing concern about construction waste and its environmental impact. By finding efficient and environmentally friendly recycling methods for composite construction, we can reduce waste generation, conserve resources, and minimize the construction industry’s carbon footprint. Our approach involves conducting technical, environmental, and economic assessments to identify the most efficient and sustainable recycling methods. We aim to develop practical solutions that can be implemented by the construction industry, leading to reduced waste and improved sustainability practices. These solutions can help the partner organization, Global Green Construction, enhance its recycling processes, optimize resource utilization, and strengthen its market position. But the impact of this research goes beyond just one company. It will benefit everyone in Canada. In other words, our findings will contribute to improving the Canadian community by promoting sustainable construction practices, minimizing environmental degradation, and supporting Canada’s sustainability goals. The research outcomes will be disseminated through publications, conferences, and industry events, ensuring that the knowledge generated reaches a broad audience and fosters further innovation.
