Reducing the Negative Impact of Harmful Factors on the Environment in the Process of Transporting Waste from Demolition of Buildings and Structures

Abstract

The relevance of the problem under study is due to the fact that in the process of transporting demolition waste, it becomes necessary to reduce the negative impact of harmful factors on the environment. The aim of the study is to reduce the negative impact on the environment during transportation and to select optimal solutions. As a result of the study, the factors influencing the formation of the transport chain were identified, which reduce the negative impact of some harmful factors on the environment during the transportation of construction waste. Also, as a result of simulation, optimal combinations of important factors were formed in the conditions of urban infrastructure, which made it possible to reduce the estimated indicators of harmful effects on the environment.

Environmental sustainability assessment of excavation, construction, and demolition waste conditions and practices across Greece and Cyprus

“…To support the EU's transition to a circular economy, Directive 2018/850/EC amended Directive 1999/31/EC, introducing landfill restrictions, from 2030, on all waste suitable for recycling or recovery of materials or energy and seeks to reduce the amount of municipal waste ending up in landfills to 10% by 2035. Reduction as a method of waste management minimizes production and at the same time reduces the costs for their transportation, recycling and disposal [78]. The various approaches to the studies that have been done concern the research, the case study, the various descriptive models and the mathematical models and communications technology [79].…”

Application of Digital Technologies Tools for Social and Sustainable Construction in a Developing Economy

“…This involves integrating DTs into project planning, execution, monitoring, and data analysis, ultimately leading to improved project outcomes, cost efficiencies, and a safer working environment. Considering the adverse impact of construction activities on the environment like waste generation, air pollution, noise pollution, climatic change, and several others [6], the need for DT to address these issues has gained momentum across the globe. Also, due to the low productivity rates of the construction sector which is often caused by the high reliance on traditional manual labor, a lack of proper standards, and a scarcity of effective project management practices [7,8], the need for implementing DT into the activities and processes of the construction industry cannot be overemphasized.…”
