Assessing the economic impact and ecological footprint of construction and demolition waste during the urbanization of rural land
详细信息   
摘要
The economic impact of the C&DW in urbanization projects is analysed. The ecological footprint indicator is applied to C&DW and has sensible results. The quantification is based on the work breakdown system of construction budgets. The result shows that 98% of the waste is due to earthworks and tree felling. The ecological footprint is reduced 20% when the inert waste is 100% reused/recycled.
