Enhancing Construction and Demolition Waste Management through BIM Implementation: A Pathway to Circular Economy

Abstract The construction industry is facing growing concerns over the environmental impacts and sustainability of its waste management practices, particularly in relation to construction and demolition waste. This research paper explores the potential of Building Information Modeling (BIM) implementation as a means to enhance construction and demolition waste management and pave the way for a circular economy. The present study has examined the current state of construction and demolition waste management practices, highlighting the significant environmental and economic impacts associated with traditional linear waste disposal methods. It then delves into the principles of a circular economy, emphasizing the importance of reducing waste generation, promoting recycling and reuse, and minimizing resource consumption.
