Abstract
Construction is an important part of infrastructure and economic growth in developing countries. In this process, the construction industry produces a lot of waste, which is harmful to the environment and costly to the project. Therefore, waste management is very important for the construction industry. Waste management is defined as reducing waste and using appropriate resources by managing them. In this article, we will examine the basic concepts and factors of waste production by reviewing the relevant literature. This project also explores the environmental impacts of various household products through a life cycle assessment. This study aims to compare the environmental performance of traditional materials and other materials and to provide suggestions for the selection of environmentally friendly materials in construction. To achieve this goal we created a survey containing twenty questions regarding waste generation. Following the review, the data was analyzed and processed. The findings will help companies improve their ability to avoid, reduce, reuse and recycle physical and non- physical waste. Based on results analysis, find ways to reduce, reuse and recycle waste and provide reduction methods and learn more about zero waste to save construction.
