Essay / Research Paper Abstract
This 27 page paper examines the issue of waste management in the Austrian construction industry. The paper is based on the hypothesis that implementation of waste management strategies will result in improvements in the environment including minimisation of resource use depletion, decreased energy usage and reduced pollution and that businesses in the building industry can gain financially from the implementation of waste management strategies through implementation of avoidance, reuse and recycling of materials. The paper examines the motivation, the level of waste management that is present in the country and the patterns of reuse and recycling and the benefits of waste management. The paper then presents an assessment of the limitations of this study and a short essay using the data collected. The bibliography cites 18 sources.

always under a plethora of pressures to increase efficiency, meet social demands and comply with legislative requirements. The requirements of the building and construction industry are often overshadowed with the
aspects such as what is built and where. However, the issue of waste and waste management from this industry is one that is becoming more recognised. All industries that create
waste are facing an increasing challenge to minimise waste but the construction industry is jot always perceived as being one of the industries where this is an issue due to
the level of creation that takes place through construction. However, like any other industry there is the creation of waste, both directly and indirectly. Waste management that reduces the
level of waste created is likely to increase efficiency and the potential to reduce initial costs and potentially the running or disposal costs during and at the end of the
life which will benefit users and as well as potentially reducing running which may increased the desirability of the building may also reduce the impact on the environment.
The need to manage waste, reducing and also recycling or reusing is needed in order to reduce costs as well as to meet social and legislative demands as well as
any ethical or environmental concerns that may be held by the bus ness owners. As more building and construction take place there is also an increasing level of demolition in
