4. Discussion
- Promoting innovation in recycling technology. Recycling construction waste is a key strategy for the sustainable development of resources in the future. More attention should continue to be paid to the pre-treatment and reproductive phases of construction waste. First, it can more effectively reduce waste generation at the source and lower the cost of construction projects, such as material costs, labor costs and management fees. Second, it may increase the secondary or multiple utilization potential of different types of construction waste and prolong their life, so as to improve the utilization rate of construction waste resources, which plays a role in saving resources, improving the environment and promoting the sustainable development of society.
- Developing information technology for the reduction in construction waste. The development of construction waste reduction is the focus of scientific research. It is not only a scientific problem, but also a common concern of politics, economics and society. At present, some information technologies, such as BIM, GIS and big data, have made good achievements in predicting waste generation and reducing waste output. However, some newly developed technologies, such as 3D concrete printing and prefabricated construction, are still only used in projects with simple structure and small scale. How to combine existing mature information technologies or find new ones to solve the limitations of emerging technologies deserves further consideration.
- More research on top-level design. The direction of development in the field of C&D waste and sustainability is also influenced by policy. Combined with research frontiers and hotspots, it is clear that current research focuses primarily on environmental benefits, such as carbon emissions and environmental footprints. Therefore, further improvement of relevant policies and regulations can enhance the environmental awareness of participants and provide impetus for the effective operation of the recycling industry chain. First, it is necessary to establish a comprehensive supervision system. BIM, GIM and other technologies can be fully used to supervise the whole process of the recycled products industry. Second, it is necessary to formulate effective incentive policies to promote the development of the construction waste industry. Financial support can be provided to recycling companies in the research and development of new materials and technologies.
- More investigation of different project stakeholders. As things stand, it is inefficient to promote the recycling of C&D waste only through government procurement and subsidies. The participation of contractors in the reduction in construction waste and the willingness of recycling companies to engage in the development of production materials and technology research is not strong. Therefore, establishing a behavior model to find the motivation to stimulate all stakeholders to actively participate in the resourceful disposal of construction waste can be taken as the future development direction in order to guide the market stakeholders’ selection behavior of resourceful treatment and achieve higher economic, social and environmental benefits.
5. Conclusions
- Research progress on C&D waste and the sustainable development of resources can be roughly divided into exploration phase (2002–2007), initial growth phase (2008–2015) and rapid development phase (2016–2022). China is the most active country in this field, while the United States, India, Australia, Brazil, Spain, the United Kingdom, Malaysia and Italy contribute a large number of publications. The Journal of Cleaner Production, Sustainability, Construction and Building Materials, Materials, and Resource Conservation and Recycling are the most productive journals, which is closely related to the impact of journals in the field of C&D waste and sustainable development.
- Based on the author’s contributions and collaboration, it seems that more and more scholars have begun to devote themselves to research in this field. However, most of them only communicate with members of small research groups. Among the most active institutions, they are also more inclined to cooperate with domestic universities and research institutes. At present, there is still relatively little global cooperation.
- The results of keyword co-occurrence and cluster analysis indicate that research and development of recycled products, methods for reducing construction waste, and sustainable management modes have been current research hotspots. Among them, the circular economy, life cycle sustainability assessment, and the environmental benefits of recycled products have attracted much attention.
- The identification of research trends shows that the evolution process in this field is summarized as recycling–reduction–sustainability, and future research directions are also proposed. On the one hand, strengthening the research and development of new technologies for waste recycling and reduction can optimize the process of C&D waste management, reduce the waste of resources and construction project costs. On the other hand, more discussion of top-level design and stakeholder behavior factors is conducive to breaking the restriction on the circular economy and other management modes, changing the inherent thinking of stakeholders, so as to promote the green development of the construction industry and improve social benefits.
