| description | Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to provide an analysis of the key issues to be addressed in developing a framework for the eco-costing of construction waste. Design/methodology/approach - Based on an analysis of the literature, original thinking and the use of a case study, the key issues to be included in an eco-costing framework in the construction industry are discussed. Findings - The relationship between process, policy, technology, impact and cost is discussed. The relationship between environmental cost and construction site activities is introduced. A mathematical model for eco-costing wastes from construction site activities is also presented. Originality/value - This paper provides a first attempt to conceptualise eco-costing issues in relation to waste from building site activities, and also provides practical modelling for implementing an integrated strategy for the eco-costing of construction waste. |
