Waste recycling is a critical method to effectively address environmental issues raised by construction and demolition waste (C&DW). As highlighted in previous studies, the contractor is considered the primary purchaser for recycled C&DW products. However, there is a limited understanding of the factors affecting the contractor’s purchase willingness towards C&DW recycling products. This study investigated these key drivers using the Exploratory Sequential Mixed Approach. Firstly, a hypothetical model was developed based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB). Secondly, a questionnaire survey was then employed in data collection. Thirdly, structural equation modeling (SEM) was adopted for data analysis. It is revealed that multiple factors directly affect the contractor’s purchase willingness towards C&DW recycling products. These factors include government measures, the contractor’s attitude, perceived behavioral control, perceived consumer effectiveness, and subjective norms. Besides, recycling product information indirectly affects the contractor’s purchase willingness. Based on the findings, the study provides strategies for the government, contractors, recycling enterprises, and public buyers to increase C&DW recycling products’ purchase willingness. Findings derived from the empirical study can be used as a theoretical reference for government departments to develop related promotion policies. Moreover, the suggestions provided are helpful to guide recycling enterprises to promote their products.

“…According to the results of structural equation modeling the hypothesis was accepted. In past research (Galán, Viguri, Cifrian, Dosal, & Andres, 2019) was conducted in which same hypothesis was accepted. Our fourth hypothesis was Waste efficient bill of quantity (WEBOQ) has a positive and significant influence on the construction waste reduction.…”

Waste disposal has become an issue worldwide and the major cause of this issue is considered to be the construction activities producing wastes. Pakistan being the 6 most populated country in the world is considered to have a huge amount of waste due to the various construction and particularly megaprojects and this amount of construction waste is increasing consistently in the country. Pakistan produces of construction waste per year and is increasing annually by 2%. These increasing wastes and issues associated with these construction wastes lead to a crucial need for improvement of waste management practices in the construction industry of the country through various measures. Despite of the large need for waste minimization research in Pakistan, , deductive approach was used, and quantitative method was selected, the present study has used cross-sectional design. The researcher used a sample of 323 individuals and conducted a questionnaire-based study.

“…Meanwhile, an LCC model is developed to assess the potential economic benefits of ESR recycling, as an example. It is worth mentioning that recycling and backfilling are two different disposal methods in China; recycling of ESR or C&D waste refers to the reprocessing of waste materials into recycled construction materials, while backfilling is a recovery method and is not taken into account here (Galán et al, 2019).…”
