Abstract

We discussed where the problems of construction and demolition (C & D) waste are and what should be done from the viewpoint of NGOs that have been engaged in deforestation issue. In the first half, we showed that C & D waste problems are not only problems at landfill sites but are also closely linked with those at raw material acquisition sites, and that both of them include problems of environment, human-rights and development. In the second half, we pointed out that prolonged use of existing constructions is the most important measure that should be taken and introduced some examples. We also discussed public support, which is necessary to promote the recycling of building demolition waste, and adoption of producers' responsibility.
