Abstract
Spatial Distribution of Construction Waste Recycling Facilities
Highlights
With the continuous expansion of cities in China, the disparity between the increase in construction waste output and the lag in the construction of treatment facilities has become increasingly prominent.(1) By 2020, the output of construction waste in China will reach2.6 billion tons, accounting for 30–40% of the total municipal solid waste generated
We study the spatial relationship between construction waste and its recycling facilities, find the deficiencies in the current distribution of recycling facilities, and propose improvements
Statistics show that at least 50 million tons of construction waste is generated in Beijing every year.(17) On the basis of a remote sensing image of Beijing taken by Gaofen–2 in 2019, the data points for 369 construction waste storage sites in the city were vectorized by geographic information system (GIS) spatial analysis, and a geographic database of these sites was established to allow the analysis of nuclear density and circle differentiation characteristics
Summary
With the continuous expansion of cities in China, the disparity between the increase in construction waste output and the lag in the construction of treatment facilities has become increasingly prominent.(1) By 2020, the output of construction waste in China will reach2.6 billion tons, accounting for 30–40% of the total municipal solid waste generated. With the continuous expansion of cities in China, the disparity between the increase in construction waste output and the lag in the construction of treatment facilities has become increasingly prominent.(1) By 2020, the output of construction waste in China will reach. Many cities are faced with the problems of land shortage and storage yards of construction waste that cannot process the amount of waste generated. To achieve the aims of green and low-carbon, resource regeneration, comprehensive utilization, and serving the society, it is urgent that modern construction projects treat and reuse construction waste and residual mud and debris and promote the development of resource utilization, waste reduction, and high efficiency. The utilization of construction waste as a resource is still in the initial stage in China; the rate of utilization is currently below 10%. The insufficient number and inefficient distribution of resource facilities are important factors contributing to this situation; in addition, the resource processing technology needs to be improved
