Abstract
Material waste is one of waste that has been identified as a significant problem of the construction industry and also has a negative impact on the environment. Therefore, it is necessary to find the way to increase the efficiency of material used and minimize environmental impact. Green material management is one of the concepts that are a part of green supply chain management. This concept is commonly used in manufacture industry. The purpose of this study is to adopt the concept of green material management in manufacture industry to apply for the construction industry. A literature review was conducted to learn from previous research about the implementation of green material management in manufacture and construction industry. Some previous research has been figured out the framework of green material management in the construction industry, but the result are still limited to identify the concepts, dimensions, and elements. Indicators are needed so the concept can be applied appropriately and clearly. The result of this study is a framework of green material management concept in the construction industry that consists of five dimensions, 16 elements, and 20 indicators.

Summary
Construction industry commonly known as industry with high level of waste. Construction industry waste focused on amount of material waste on site and several activities like over production, waiting time, process handling of material, inventory, and worker movement. The main waste categories along construction process can be described as: rework/repair, defect, material waste, delay, waiting time, unsuitable material allocation, and unnecessary material handling [1]. Material waste is one of waste that have negative impact on environment. Some researches in some country show that construction and demolition waste (C&D waste) have a great contribution to all solid waste in that country (about 13 – 30% in each country) [2]. Negative effect on environment caused by consuming a lot of material, large amount of energy needs, and pollution generated along construction supply chain
