Abstract :
The expanding of construction and demolition waste (C&D waste) not only represents an enormous dissipation of resources but also results in serious environmental pollution, which has created great negative impacts on the sustainable development of environment and society. The paper analyzes the present status of disposal and use of domestic construction waste, and focuses on analysis of the main sources and generating reasons of construction waste. Compared with construction waste management in developed countries, the paper has put forward some relative suggestions and solutions for better improvements.
