摘要

The construction sector markedly adds to worldwide trash production, with construction and demolition (C&D) waste comprising a considerable fraction of landfill material. Conventional demolition techniques often result in the wastage of important resources and heightened environmental deterioration. Deconstruction, the methodical dismantling of structures to optimize material reclamation, offers a sustainable alternative. Incorporating lean building ideas into deconstruction procedures may augment efficiency and minimize waste. Lean construction emphasizes the reduction of waste and the enhancement of value by ongoing improvement and cooperation among stakeholders. This article examines the interplay between deconstruction and lean building approaches to tackle the issues associated with construction and demolition waste. A thorough literature analysis elucidates contemporary practices, advantages, and constraints of deconstruction and lean concepts in building. The study delineates research deficiencies, namely the need for standardized frameworks that integrate both methodologies. A mixed-methods study strategy, including case studies and expert interviews, is presented to examine the efficacy of lean-integrated deconstruction methodologies. Initial studies indicate that this integration may result in substantial waste reduction, economic savings, and environmental advantages. The report closes with suggestions for industry stakeholders to implement lean deconstruction techniques, highlighting the need of legislative assistance, training, and technical innovation. By adopting these measures, the construction sector may progress towards more sustainable and effective waste management procedures.
