Abstract

A significant amount of construction and demolition (C&D) waste has been produced in China in the past two decades. Previous literature determined that the regulation has an important role to play in cultivating an appropriate regulatory environment for managing C&D waste, and the C&D waste landfilling regulation has been an essential component in the total regulatory system. However, it is also observed that the existing C&D waste landfilling regulations in China are by and large perceived as insufficient in supporting the effective reduction of the waste. Thus, this study aims to conduct a systematic review of China’s C&D waste landfilling regulations. The C&D waste landfilling related regulations of the six regions located in the Western China, including Sichuan, Chongqing, Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, and Shanxi, were analyzed. The content analysis approach was adopted to analyze the data collected from previous literature, governmental reports and data retrieved from relevant C&D waste landfilling regulations. Comparisons of regulations between these six regions were also carried out. It is anticipated that the outcomes could help in advancing the regulatory environment of C&D waste landfilling in these regions and also could be potentially used by other regions in the country.
