Department of Civil Engineering Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur Conflicting Numbers for C&D Waste Data in India is scarce and often it is more ‘estimates’ Estimates by various studies in India over the years are show in Table 1 An estimate based on the waste produced per unit built- up area has been done by the CSE(Centre for Science and Environment) based on the thumb rules by a 2001 TIFAC Report It puts the C&D Waste generated figures to 626MT in 2013 alone !!

Department of Civil Engineering Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur Onsite: C&D Waste Reduction On- Site C&D Waste Management involves two concepts: Reduction and Re- Use of Waste! Aspects of Onsite Waste Management involves the following aspects like Pre- Demolition Planning , Demolition Techniques , Building Type, Onsite Waste Segregation Reduction implies removal of architectural fixtures and other removal items like Doors, Panes, Plumbing Items, Tiles etc. from the main waste stream. Re- Use implies reusing of this stream of items along with any whole bricks, tile items produced which can be used for alternate non-structural purposes 9 3R Conference, Male, Maldives
Department of Civil Engineering Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur 10 3R Conference, Male, Maldives Case Study: Girls’ Hostel Demolition A 120 room Girls Hostel was demolished to create a new hostel in its place. In the Undergraduate Project on its Demolition by two students, the following aspects were covered The Demolition Process Contractual Provisions for Demolition Kind of waste produce, recycled and re- used Brief Estimate of the kind and quantity of the material recovered Focus will remain on the first three points !!
Department of Civil Engineering Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur 11 3R Conference, Male, Maldives Demolition Process and Planning !! Top to down approach was planned Starting from roof to successive floors. Non- Load bearing structures were broken first by hammering and subsequently the beams and columns . All demolition was carried out by human labor to increase the material recovery. Tradeoff however was the Cost and Time !! The material recovered was sold and the rest of it was sent for reuse in different sites as filler/base material (Brick Bats) Proper tools were used so that material (esp. Bricks weren’t) Provision in the contrac the contractor to use the material recovered from the site and sell it for profit Contractor had to bid a certain amount for the recovered material Demolition was part of a larger re-construction contract

Department of Civil Engineering Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur 3R Conference, Male, Maldives 14 Findings/Opportunities Since the building was bid a certain amount by the contractor, the contractor ensured that most of that amount was recovered by maxim sing waste reduction and recycling The timing and the effort put in were offset because they were running of a tight schedule for the re- construction on the same site which was to follow !! Pre- Demolition planning and implementation was done to maximize the waste recovery. Whereas large number of labor was engaged to speed up the process Any loss between the demolition bid amount and the recovery amount was offset by the amount received for the new construction Win- Win situation for Owner, Contractor and the cause of recycling !! Contract: Opportunities and Advantages!!

Department of Civil Engineering Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur Onsite: Recycled/Recovered/Re- Used Products Possible Uses NOTE : Not all items have a proper re- sale value which is because There are no dedicated markets for these items, they are all sold on need basis which Prompts the Contractor to dump them in the waste stream TABLE 2, SOURCE: UGP REPORT, CHETAN CHAUHAN 3R Conference, Male, Maldives 16

It is the means of livelihood for many around manually scavenge the waste for any item of their use, thereby cleaning the incoming material Key issue of handling iron scrap Most of the scrap is removed during the transport of the material hence little is left to be processed by the plant Whatever little scrap is obtained is scavenged by the local slum dwellers Rest of the material is sold to micro- finance the workers working in the plant
Department of Civil Engineering Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur 3R Conference, Male, Maldives 30 Issues in Running the Plant Large stream of incoming waste but stockpiles of processed material, since processed material isn’t accepted by Contractors, even for non- structural purposes More research is required to process material generated in the plant to produce “Greener” finished products like Green Bricks etc. A certain operational expertise has been achieved by the Plan operators based on the type of incoming waste, logistics and the space and technology available. This information is highly required to develop a roadmap for development of more such plants Impacts on Environment Residential Area Proximity is an important criteria Sound and Dust Pollution related considerations Vibrations need to be controlled while the plant operates Designated site to store the processed and unprocessed waste
Department of Civil Engineering Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur 3R Conference, Male, Maldives 31 Technical Opportunities Designed and Commissioned by CDE Asia Plant can produce varying kinds of materials ranging from 75um to 5mm 5mm to 10 mm 10mm to 20mm et. al Evo- Wash: A technological solution provided by CDE Asia. It is the main processing machine at the plant. It takes in all kinds of mixed waste, crushes it, washes it and then segregates according to different aggregate types including silt, sand and fines (clay) VSI (Vertical Shaft Impactor) and RM60 (Crusher): Another innovative technological solution which focuses on removing the mortar before crushing the natural aggregates, thereby producing better RCA

Department of Civil Engineering Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur 3R Conference, Male, Maldives 34 Debate between the natural and recycled aggregates lies with the use of recycled aggregates in the concrete Issues which arise are High Water Absorption Low ultimate Strength Low impact Strength/ Hardness of the Aggregate Also these issues can be resolved by looking into the following aspects Structural vs. Non-Structural uses Level of Replacement Grade of the Concrete based requirement of Recycled aggregate Use of RCA as sub- base material for Road Construction Processed Materials: RCA vs. Natural Aggregates
Department of Civil Engineering Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur 3R Conference, Male, Maldives 35 Products: Important questions which one must answer are: Quality of material Who is going to use it? At What Price? In what Industry? As Solutions: Guidelines, Subsidies, Promotion of Material !! Business Opportunities in Selling the products
Department of Civil Engineering Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur 3R Conference, Male, Maldives 36 The Plant produces the following types of finished products which are : What all are the possibilities in utilizing them better And what all are the bottleneck Where all do the opportunities lie ?? !! Market for finished products !!
Department of Civil Engineering Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur 3R Conference, Male, Maldives 37 Future Course of Action Compile a document that comprehensively addresses the diverse aspects of the problem – though the issues could be country specific, a basic template for compilation of information and data is urgently needed. The document should facilitate monitoring over a period of time, and set well defined targets and plans of action
