Construction industry is one of the industries that generates and dumps heaps of waste to landfill. In Australia, about 40 % of the construction and demolition waste is disposed to landfill. Hence, state governments in Australia have initiated various strategies which aim to reduce construction waste. These include levy on construction waste and various proposals of zero waste strategies. Hence, some of the companies reduce, reuse and recycle the construction waste to reduce the amounts of landfill payment. Nevertheless, is monetary expenditure the only effective motivation factor which lead to a reduction in construction waste? Is there any other motivation factors which sucessfully power waste reduction? There are three major contributions in this chapter: (1) it perceives the idea of sustainable construction waste from whole building cycle perspective instead of construction and demolition stage alone. (2) It reviews the construction companies, contractors, government sectors and materials manufacturers' sustainability issues in Australia's construction industry from economics, social and environmental perspectives. (3) It examines the motivation of these companies in sustainable construction waste management under the lens of positive and negative incentive, goal setting and hierarchy of needs theory.

Incentive-based traffic demand management (IBTDM) schemes redistribute traffic demand across space and time. The relationship between IBTDM and traditional tolling programs impacts financial sustainability and decision making of both programs. This study aims to examine if an IBTDM and a tolling program can coexist and should collaborate or compete to establish a financially sustainable mobility ecosystem. We investigate a duopoly case with an IBTDM and a tolling program in a parallel bottleneck model with fixed demand. It is assumed that the IBTDM program has a user acquisition cost and is constrained by a total budget. Then, the collaboration and competition cases between two programs are investigated, respectively. We found that both programs can attract substantial amounts of commuters and thus can coexist with each other, while the IBTDM program could attract more commuters. Overall, the tolling agency will not cooperate with the IBTDM company if its goal is to raise revenue. Additionally, the IBTDM company held an advantage as it can determine an optimal incentive scheme with incomplete information when competing. This study fills the knowledge gap on the coexistence of incentive and tolling programs, which helps to optimize the profiles of incentive and tolling, as well as to make strategic decisions on competition and cooperation.
