Review on Construction and Demolition Waste for Potential Research Trends

With the increasing emphasis on environmental protection, construction and demolition (C&D) waste has been a significant challenge for sustainable development of almost all cities around the world. Therefore, a large number of academic researchers took construction waste management as their research interests and published many peer-reviewed articles on the issue. In order to investigate the status quo of current research progress and identify potential research trends of construction waste management, this paper systematically reviewed the peer-reviewed articles from 2000 to 2017. The papers are collected through Scopus database engine with title, abstract and keywords related to construction waste management and filtered by source type, language type, abstract content and number of papers in a journal. In total, there are 579 journal papers for multi-dimensional analysis from the perspectives of number of papers in different years, author and institution et al. Detailed examination of these papers was conducted from the perspectives of research methods and research topics. It shows a continuous increasing number of articles on construction waste management during the period. In addition, more than half of the research papers focus on construction waste disposal especially on recycling of construction waste and statistical analysis is the most used data analysis method with the number of 351 papers. Finally, the potential research trends are identified by five different topics, including reduction of construction waste by design, reverse logistics of construction materials & construction waste, distribution of C&D waste processing facilities, promotion of recycled materials, life cycle analysis of construction materials, and systematic enhancement of construction waste management et al.
