Decision Support Framework for Integrating Construction Consolidation Centres into Sustainable Waste Management

Abstract: Inner-city construction projects face severe spatial constraints during the finishing stage, often leading to mixed construction and demolition waste (C&DW) handling and reduced circular performance. This paper proposes a project-level decision-support framework to evaluate outbound C&DW logistics strategies, addressing the lack of project-level comparative tools. The framework integrates economic, environmental, and social indicators in a scenario-based comparison of conventional handling and CCC-enabled reverse logistics. Applied to three Dutch projects, results show cost and emission reductions, with slightly higher logistics intensity. The framework supports ex ante decision-making under spatial constraints.
