“The use of recycled materials in construction drives research & innovation and encourages the development of new markets for recycled products, fostering a circular economy.”
Shalini Goyal Bhalla, Managing Director, International Council for Circular Economy, and Committee Member, Dry Waste and C&D Waste at NITI Aayog
The concept of a circular economy involves designing out waste and keeping materials and products in use for as long as possible, thereby minimizing the consumption of resources and reducing environmental impacts. The construction industry has been gradually adopting the principles of the circular economy to address its environmental and sustainability challenges. It is increasingly using recycled and renewable materials to reduce the demand for virgin resources and is also exploring options for sourcing materials locally to minimize transportation-related emissions.
