Abstract :
The construction industry is a significant contributor to global waste generation, prompting the urgent need for sustainable waste management solutions. Nanotechnology has emerged as a promising avenue for addressing this challenge, offering innovative approaches to waste reduction, recycling, and remediation. This paper provides an academic exploration of the opportunities and implications of nanotechnology in construction waste management. It examines the potential applications of nanomaterials and nanosensors in waste reduction, monitoring, and treatment, while also addressing associated challenges and risks. Through a comprehensive review of existing literature, this paper aims to elucidate the role of nanotechnology in advancing sustainable practices within the construction industry.
