Green Construction Insights: A Review of Recycled Materials and Waste Management Across Five International Studies

Résumé

This study presents a comprehensive analysis of five international scientific articles focusing on sustainable construction materials, waste reduction strategies, and energy efficiency technologies in buildings. Using a systematic narrative review approach, this study synthesizes findings on RAC, PUR, an optimization framework for the allocation of environmentally friendly materials, and factors causing waste in construction projects. The results of the study indicate that the use of RAC can increase material circularity without affecting structural strength. PUR insulation materials are also proven to significantly increase building thermal efficiency and reduce energy consumption. This study concludes that the application of recycled materials, optimization of material use and selection, and improvement of waste management systems can strengthen sustainable construction practices for environmentally friendly green buildings.
