| Popis: | In recent years, due to the increase in greenhouse gas emissions causing global warming, but also lead to the world's climate change. Carbon reduction and sustainable development has become an important topic around the world. Resource recycling can reduce the exploitation of natural virgin materials. The building projects have been promote every year and the urban renewal plan cause the demolition of existing buildings demolition. The average life span of buildings is 23.31 years. Most Construction waste was belong to resources that can be utilized to renewable resources. Such as waste concrete block, steel, wood, glass, etc., can now through the construction site to reduce, or transport to recycling factory to become resource. The recycling process can reduce using natural materials and reduce engender the construction waste. In recent years, 2 million tons of construction waste are generated each year in Taiwan. The Taiwan Environmental Protection Administration (TEPA) initiated the online system in 1997 to better manage tracking. After three years of testing, the Industrial Waste Control Center (IWCC) was officially established in 2000. It offers functions like online integration, mobilization, and analysis tools. The construction site was monitored from 2005. The Construction waste must be transported to the treatment facilities. The reporting system has been improved to not only trace the waste flow, but also to monitor the actual amount of waste generated. This paper mainly described Taiwan construction waste management (CWM) practices and reuse status. |
