- W122959141 abstract "The US Environmental Protection Agency`s (EPA) goal for the next decade is controlled and documented waste minimization in the US. The state of California has mandated a 25 percent reduction of waste in California`s landfills by 1994 and 50 percent by 2000. California is beginning to meet this goal through residential recycling, but this effort will not be adequate to meet its second goal of 50 percent. The next area for waste reduction is documented source reduction and recycling by the construction and other industries. By implementing proven techniques of waste minimization, construction firms will have cost benefits in the areas of reducing waste, removing waste, and tipping costs. For construction managers, opportunities for direct cost savings will expand. The direct cost benefits of recycling and waste minimization on one project are demonstrated in table 1. Waste minimization can take on different forms. Recycling, reuse, composting, and salvaging material are included in one category; source reduction, using recycled products, and controlling the material to reduce final waste is another. Combustion of excess materials in waste-to-energy plants is a final measure. This article demonstrates that cost incentives for construction waste minimization exist, and will be a factor in future waste managementmore » decisions. Most construction firms are concerned about the increasing costs of placing construction waste in landfills. Furthermore, many firms have not enacted any complete waste management plans or consistent waste minimization techniques, with the exception of heavy-construction firms that include recycling activities. 9 refs., 3 figs., 4 tabs.« less" @default.
