dc.description.abstract |
Effective and efficient waste management plans/systems are vital in reducing and
maintaining the generation of construction and demolition waste. It was proved in
previous research, proper rules and regulations affect the effectiveness of the waste
management strategies used in disposing of construction and demolition waste.
Therefore, this research aim is to identify the regulations applicable for the disposal of
construction and demolition waste in Sri Lanka to propose improvements in the available
rules and regulations. Comprehensive literature and document review were conducted
to approach the aim of this research. Questionnaire surveys and expert interviews were
carried out to validate the findings of the literature survey and to gather required data
in identifying the issues related to current rules and regulations and proposing
improvements. The findings revealed that many gaps can be identified with the current
regulations used in the disposal of construction and demolition waste. The results of the
research identified a lack of intention in government regarding recycling, avoiding
improper landfilling, and avoiding illegal dumping of construction and demolition waste
as major issues. The study finally concluded the necessity of modified rules and
regulations regarding the disposal of construction and demolition waste |
