The current practice and research initiatives in the recycling of demolition wastes and other solid wastes for different purposes in the building construction is also presented in this report.

The term “sustainability” was related to the regional development process by Gro Herlem Brundtland in the book ‘Our common Future’ based on the careful assessment about the environmental aspects of every human endeavor on earth. The objective then was to have a balanced view of all the development process which included not only the environment but also the health, social aspects, economics, politics , technology etc. In line with these, sustainable building construction was evolved that aims in the promotion of infrastructural systems with least effect on the environment like, very low energy consumption, controlled natural resource utilization, lesser social and psychological effects besides a harmonious existence with other living and non-living entities around it. One of the important ways to ensure the sustainable practices of building construction is to have proper recycling strategy to minimize the resource consumption.
