Abstract

The circular economy (CE) has become a central focus of waste management and resource efficiency initiatives and practices around the world. Notably, key stakeholders in the built environment (BE) sector have become interested in pursuing CE principles leading to improved construction and demolition (C&D) waste management. The three widely applied approaches for sustainable waste management include encouragement, enforcement, and education. Enforcement and policy intervention are well-documented to have a major part in the circularity of the BE. Therefore, this chapter explores eight key policy interventions (landfill tax, penalties for illegal waste dumping, tax on using raw materials, levy waiver on waste recycling residuals, extended producer responsibility, sustainable procurement, proximity principle, and recycled product certification) that significantly impact the sector resource circularity. By doing so, this chapter provides a basis for promoting and enforcing waste recovery and resource efficiency. Where relevant, the Australian experience as the case study is used to unfold the key elements impacting the implementation of these interventions. The chapter draws on extensive literature and policy analysis findings, perceptions of key Australian stakeholders captured in a questionnaire survey, and a series of interviews (2018–2021). This chapter significantly adds both conceptually and practically to dealing with waste and reclaiming resources. It is expected that the content is leveraged to develop informed waste management-related policies.
