Construction Waste Management AI
AI optimization of construction waste diversion and recycling.
Definition
Construction Waste Management AI tracks and optimizes construction waste disposal, recycling, and diversion. It monitors waste streams, identifies recycling opportunities, and helps projects achieve LEED and other green building waste diversion requirements.
In Depth
Construction and demolition waste accounts for a significant portion of landfill volume in the United States, and many jurisdictions now require waste diversion rates of 50-75% for construction projects. AI helps achieve these targets by optimizing the waste management plan, tracking diversion rates during construction, and identifying opportunities to reduce waste generation.
The waste management plan developed during preconstruction predicts waste volumes by material type based on the building design and specification. AI estimates the quantities of concrete, steel, wood, drywall, packaging, and other materials that will enter the waste stream, and develops a sorting and diversion strategy that routes each material type to the appropriate recycling or reuse facility. The plan includes container sizing, pickup schedules, and cost projections.
