2WASTE MANAGEMENT PRACTICES IN INDIA AND AUSTRALIA
Executive summary
The report aims to propose the different aspects of the study based on the C&D waste
management practices in India and Australia. The different practices that are undertaken by
the nations relating to the waste management is being compared and contrasted in the
research. On the other hand, the research will also recommend different actions through
which the processes can be enhanced which will create lesser emissions. Therefore, the
purpose of undertaking the research will be based on the effectiveness of the processes and
the manner in which it can be enhanced.

4WASTE MANAGEMENT PRACTICES IN INDIA AND AUSTRALIA
1. Introduction
Umar et al. (2017) stated that the generation of solid wastes while undertaking the
construction process is often disposed in landfills. The exposition of solid wastes to the
environment through the open dumping process gets into the food chain rapidly, which
affects the biodiversity of the regions. Annepu (2012) stated that the wastes in the Australian
state of Victoria are accumulated through 44 percent of landfill. The utilization of primitive
waste disposal techniques has affected the environment of the region adversely.
Contamination through the disposal of the hazardous substances that are disposed off to the
open dumping grounds might cause leachate that affects the biodiversity (Song, Liand Zeng
2015). On the other hand, India faced the same issue relating to the disposition of C&D
(Construction and Demolition) waste treatments through the utilization of primitive methods
of landfill. However, Li et al. (2013) stated there are subtle changes that were undertaken by
Australia and India, which has helped in redesigning the framework of waste creation and
management of the same. The research aims at identifying the different processes that are
undertaken by thenations for managing the construction wastes. Most of the wastes are
accumulated in the landfills, which might create situations through which the toxins are
embodied and introduced in the food chains affecting the biodiversity (Laurent et al. 2014).
On the other hand, the efficiency of the different practices that are undertaken by the
constructors in Australia and India might also affect the biodiversity. Therefore, the research
aims at providing certain recommended actions through which the C&D wastes could be
managed well.
2. Background of the research
The research will be aiming to identify the different manner in which the C&D wastes
are managed by India and Australia and it implications on the environment. Introduction of
