ANALYZING THE ENVIRONMENTAL AND ECONOMIC BENEFITS OF ESTABLISHING A CENTRALIZED CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION WASTE RECYCLING FACILITY IN NORTH DAKOTA.
GRANT INFORMATION
EPSCoR SEED FUNDING – North Dakota State University, Fall 2020
PI: Abdul-Aziz Banawi
Team Members: Simon Boateng
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed project aims to identify the benefits of operating a recycling facility as opposed to the conventional practice which is landfill disposal. Specifically, the study will identify (1) the environmental cost of landfilling (2) the energy savings and reduction in emissions gained through recycling (3) economic value in terms of profitability and job creation. This information will help stakeholders to make informed decisions related to the management of construction waste. The methodology of this study has been represented with the schematic diagram shown below see Figure 1.
