Abstract

Waste is considered as an end of city product’s life as well as a burden in modern society. The government of Hong Kong and Singapore are striving to improve construction and municipal solid waste management since 1960. At the same time, waste policies lead to social and economic controversies among citizen. How can we develop better sustainable waste management strategies? Will these methods lead to different level of environmental and economic problems? Whilst previous research in construction and municipal waste mainly sheds light on the methods of construction waste management on sites by interviews, surveys and case studies, few research has been conducted to study the digital information available in academic journal database and World Wide Web. This chapter tries to fill this gap by discussing (1) whether the government’s waste management strategies are sustainable; (2) the efforts on construction and municipal solid waste made by the governments in Hong Kong and Singapore.
