| Summary: | Construction sites are afflicted with challenges like improper planning and management, high waste generation and low awareness of waste reduction. Sustainable work practices are laying emphasis on the development of effective waste minimization measures for major construction projects. It is evident from the findings that losses incurred due to construction waste are enormous and proactive measures are needed to cut the cost of construction. Construction waste (CW) is the key factor which has a considerable impact on the environment due to massive landfills and pollution created by its disposal. Literature on construction waste provides best practices that help minimize construction waste. However, it lacks the holistic minimization approach. Therefore, studies approaching this problem comprehensively are needed. The research methodology was rigorous exploration from Research papers of past10 years through various journals to elicit the status related to CW Practices there in and recommend strategies to combat CW generation by addressing it with a holistic approach.
