Summary:

"This book presents an extensive review of various national and international literature, an analysis of relevant policies and guidelines, and an evaluation of key stakeholders' sentiments. It provides valuable insights into five key areas: (1) analysis of national and jurisdictional policy frameworks that affect the creation and stimulation of end markets for waste materials; (2) assessment of the operation of existing end-markets for five strategic construction materials; (3) exploration of the application of sustainable procurement policies and practices at state, national and international levels; (4) evaluation of impacts of COVID-19 on the C&D waste industry; and (5) identification of key factors affecting C&D waste end-market creation and stimulation, and building a model for waste market development. Collectively, the book aims to boost business prospects, provide advantages to product manufacturers, and establish sustainable circular supply chains"-- Provided by publisher.
