The current process of construction and its related activity in the country generates huge volumes of waste and it is estimated that India generates an estimated 150 million tons of Construction and Demolition waste from construction, renovation and demolitions every year [1] and unofficial estimates of the total waste generated in the country put the figure at three-five times more than the official estimate. It was found that India recycles just one per cent of its Construction and Demolition Waste (CDW) in a survey by CSE on August 25, 2020.By analyzing the composition of various materials in the CDW stream in our country, ways of recycling, reusing manage those major contributors by can be identified. By studying the status of various CDW management systems in the country, their by-products we can understand the options to incorporate the waste generated, back into the construction industry, and the permissible levels and standards for the same. Cost savings incurred in construction by following the available permissible CDW substitutions, and latest research in the construction materials using CDW byproducts can be quantified, to get a clear picture of the benefits possible. The need for further innovations and possible scope and use for waste materials are understood. With the current shortage of dwelling units in India, and the volume of CDW generation, incorporating the CDW materials in construction of the same be economically and environmentally beneficial.
