Construction and Demolition Waste: Global and Indian Scenarios, Compositions, and Applications

The course on Construction and Demolition (C&D) Waste: Global and Indian Scenarios, Compositions, and Applications was highly informative and well-structured. It provided a comprehensive understanding of how C&D waste is generated, managed, and utilized across the world, with a special focus on the Indian context. The comparison of global practices with Indian challenges gave a clear perspective on where improvements are needed and how sustainable methods can be adapted locally. The detailed discussion on waste composition, including concrete, bricks, metals, wood, and plastics, helped in identifying potential recycling and reuse opportunities. Learning about innovative applications of recycled C&D waste in road construction, building materials, and eco-friendly products was particularly insightful. The course successfully connected theory with practical case studies, making it easier to relate to real-world practices. Overall, it enhanced my knowledge of sustainable waste management and its role in building a greener future.
