چکیده
Sustainability of building materials in construction requires minimal or no waste, which entails the reuse/recycling of construction waste materials (CWM). The construction industry generates a significant portion of solid waste across the globe. This study is aimed at identifying the potential benefits and challenges of CWM reuse/recycling in order to proffer sustainable strategies for overcoming obstacles to optimal reuse/recycling of CWM. Descriptive survey design and desk study were employed in this research. Purposive sampling techniques were used to gather data for the study, using Nigeria as a study area. Data obtained from the study were analyzed using descriptive analysis. Lack of recycling facilities with a score of 83.8% was identified as the biggest hindrance to the optimal reuse/recycling of CWM. Establishment of local recycling centers having a score of 77.1% was recognized as the most effective strategy for solving the challenges of optimal reuse/recycling of CWM. Government/government agencies/parastatals having the score of 76.5% were identified as the major key players in CWM reuse/recycling. Recommended strategies for best practices in the reuse/recycling of CWM include policy and regulations, planning, incentives, and the establishment of local recycling centers. With potential applications in other developing countries, this research offers a ground-breaking framework for encouraging sustainable construction practices and reducing construction waste in Nigeria.
