Rethinking the Rubble - C&D Waste Management via 7R's

India is experiencing rapid urbanization, expanding by 1.35% annually, with evident urban sprawl towards cities, significantly impacting the construction industry with a growth rate of 7%. This surge in construction activities is paralleled by an increase in resource extraction, leading to a notable rise in waste generation. Thus, this study aims to formulate effective strategies for managing Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste in the city of Ahmedabad. By addressing this pressing issue, I seek to mitigate environmental impacts while promoting sustainable development and revenue-generating circular economic models in the urban landscape of Ahmedabad by incorporating 7R's principle.
