Abstract

The recycling industry of construction waste is developed with enormous unbalance in different cities of China. The aim of this study is to explore which factors have effect on the development of construction waste recycling industry. Based on PEST theory, this study established the research framework from political, economical, social and technological aspects. Literature review was employed to summarize the factors influencing the development of the construction waste recycling industry under this framework. The results showed that policy instruments play a critical role in promoting the development of recycling industry. The commonly used regulatory policy instruments include setting targets for construction waste recycling, making laws and regulations, and establishing technological standards. Market-based policy instruments, such as landfill fee or tax, financial subsidy and green building evaluation standards are widely applied in both developed and developing economies. For informational policy instruments, the usage of recycled product certification marks, information platform, publicity and education are identified as effective approaches to improve the level of recycling. From economical aspect, the local economic development level indicated by per capita GDP has impact on recycling industry. Social factors consist of the natural resource, landfill space and environmental awareness of the public and construction industry in local area. Lastly, the advancement of technical facilities was recognized. This study provides a basis for further quantitatively explore the factors affecting the development of construction waste recycling industry in China.
