With the rapid rise in our needs and requirements, the amount of
waste generated by modern cities is also increasing at an
unprecedented rate. This problem is global in nature and most
countries around the world need appropriate waste management
strategies. These measures include disposal and the 3Rs (reduce,
reuse, and recycle). Each of these strategies has its own share of
pros and cons. An increasing emphasis is being placed on the
application of the 3Rs, especially from the environmental
perspective. Construction & demolition (C & D) waste is
generated when new infrastructure is built and/or older structures
are demolished or renovated. Hundreds of millions of tons of such
waste are generated worldwide annually, making it one of the most
significant waste generating activities in the world. One way to
take care of a significant fraction of this waste is as recycled
aggregates (RA), wherein the waste is crushed to the dimensions of
coarse and fine aggregates and is used for various activities, most
notably in manufacturing of concrete. Other uses may include
landfilling, manufacturing of tiles, bricks, pavement blocks, etc.
Recently, other types of wastes such as used PET bottles have also
been studied as a source of recycled aggregates. This book deals
with the various socio-economic, technical, environmental, and
policy issues related to the application of various types of
recycled aggregates in different countries around the world. This
is a continually evolving area of applied research which needs
further emphasis not only from researchers, but planners and
regulators as well.
