A comprehensive review of building deconstruction and salvage: deconstruction benefits and hurdles
International Journal of Environmental Technology and Management, 2006Studies showed that nearly 65 million tons of waste is produced in the US every year from Construction and Demolition (C&D). From this waste, almost 45% can be diverted and partially converted into reusable materials. The EPA estimated that about 245,000 houses are destined for demolition in the USA every year.
