Construction waste leads to disasters, and the solution for that consists of 5 steps. For one, bring an end of being a part of causing waste by prevention. On the other hand, waste can be managed by recycling, reusing, recovering, and last option is to clearance or disposal. Also, other factors such as economical and marketing are considered to be...

In this paper, I discuss the important role of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics in improving waste management. With the growth of the population that generates more waste than ever, traditional and manual methods of waste collection and waste sorting are very inefficient and unsustainable. Artificial intelligence and robotics can be the so...
The results of the study indicate the need to improve the framework and infrastructure of waste management in the province and the development of laws and detailed monitoring systems to implement the findings and scientific and practical experiences of other countries to achieve economic, social and environmental goals.
The article is devoted to the consideration of modern approaches to the subsurface waste management and the integrated development of the mineral resources base, the development of which requires consideration of the environmental, industrial, technological and economic aspects of this issue. The authors of the article note that it is advisable to...

... Construction work can create various waste materials that are garbage, undesirable and harmful such as asbestos, and materials like rocks, soil, asphalt, bricks, concrete, plasterboard, wood, and plantation and polluted soil (Tam & Lu, 2016). According to Abdullah (2016), construction waste is mainly made up of concrete, masonry, timber, sandstone, metal, and limestone reliant on such waste. Building waste also contains a great ratio of paper and plastic anticipated because of material and supplies packaging, timber retrieved from woodwork, and other materials left behind as a result. ...
This study's general objective was to examine the influence of project management practices on construction waste management in Kenya. The specific objective of the study included, to examine the influence of project planning on construction waste management in Kenya; to find out the influence of project execution on construction waste management in Kenya; to establish the influence of project monitoring and evaluation on construction waste management in Kenya and to assess the influence of risk control on construction waste management in Kenya. This study used a cross-sectional research design. The target population for this study included construction projects in Westlands Sub-County in Nairobi County. The sample frame for this study includes all the construction projects in Westlands Sub-County in Nairobi County. This study adopted a stratified random sampling technique. The research data collection instrument was a questionnaire. It was used for collecting primary data that was both qualitative and quantitative. Data was analyzed through inferential and descriptive techniques. The study findings showed that 70.6% of the construction waste management is accounted for by project planning, project risk control, and project monitoring and evaluation of project execution. According to the research findings, with a unit increase in project planning, construction waste management increased by 0.311 units. Again, one-unit increase in project execution, construction waste management increased by 0.315. It was also shown that a unit increase in project monitoring and evaluation resulted in construction waste management increasing by 0.285. Lastly, it was revealed that with a unit increase in project risk control, construction waste management increased by 0. 229.This study therefore recommends that projects have a proper planning with consideration to project material requirement, supply and specifications in order to reduce waste generation. In addition, data gathered to examine waste management by project teams should be used to make informed decision on minimizing, recycling and disposal of construction waste. Further, the study recommends that risk assessment be carried out in projects to understand the risk posed by the construction waste and prioritize on best intervention. The study suggests further areas of research as: construction project waste reduction targets and programs, the role of construction technology in managing construction waste, developing waste monitoring and evaluation framework to help in construction waste management and formulation risk control strategies for effective management of construction waste.
