This thesis is to investigate waste management practices in the construction industry with a focus on the implementation of reverse logistics strategies. A reverse logistics strategy involves planning, implementing, and controlling the efficient flow of recovered materials back from a consumer to a producer for reprocessing or proper disposal. Also, it's a concept aimed at optimizing resource utilization and minimizing waste through the management of surplus materials, holds promise for enhancing sustainability in construction projects.
This study shows construction industry generates a significant amount of waste, and traditional waste management practices often focus on disposal rather than recovery.
and shows implementing a reverse logistics strategy, construction companies can reduce their environmental impact, conserve resources, and potentially generate cost savings.
Hence, the paper suggests that a reverse logistics strategy can be a valuable tool for improving waste management in the construction industry and provides an overview of the study's objectives, methodologies, key dimensions explored, and findings, offering a glimpse into the significance of the research on waste management in construction using reverse logistics strategies.
