The improper planning and management of construction materials during the performance of construction activities is a critical issue that negatively impacts the performance of construction projects. Encouraging sustainable waste management involves minimizing waste generation and promoting the reuse, recycling, and recovery of resources. This paper provides a broad overview of construction waste minimization and management, as well as mitigation factors for sustainable construction waste management. It integrates sustainability principles into waste management practices, including the adoption of a waste management hierarchy to advance environmental friendliness within the building industry. Also this delves into the significance of material waste, taking into account its environmental, economic, and social repercussions. It identifies various sources of material waste across the construction lifecycle, shedding light on the factors contributing to waste generation and inefficiencies. It evaluates existing practices and strategies utilized for waste minimization and management, encompassing approaches like reuse, recycling, and disposal. It emphasizes the crucial need to tackle material waste in construction projects to foster sustainability and optimize resource utilization in the built environment.
