Abstract :
Nowadays it seems very important to manage different wastes in different parts of the industry. Most of the
modern western counties all over the world set different regulations in order to decrease and also manage the
amount of waste in different parts of their industries. However in the construction industry production of waste
is unavoidable and no construction site is waste less. Malaysia has been considered as a very fast developing
country which has several construction projects. It goes without saying that in such a country with high demand
of construction activities the amount of the waste growing dramatically. Different types of the wastes in the
construction sites can cause unlimited problems for the society and also environment. It seems crystal clear that
in such a situation there is a great need of managing the wastes in this country. During the recent years, a new
concept regarding the construction management waste has been proposed under the name of “3R” concept,
which relates to three main concepts of waste management namely reuse, recycle and reduce. During the current
paper “3R” concept and its applicability in the context of Malaysia has been discussed and some suggestions in
this regard have been proposed. In the introduction section, the waste management in the Malaysian context has
been discussed. Then Constructional type of the wastes has been reviewed, after that Managing wastes in the
Malaysia has been reviewed, then different types of the waste in Malaysia presented, followed by how to do
energy recovery by means of “3R” principles and finally how to implement energy recovery by means of “3R”
principles discussed. Hopefully the content of this paper is beneficial for different people in charge with
construction projects of Malaysia.
