Abstract

In the current age of enhanced environmental awareness, transformation to sustainable management in the construction sector is needed. China currently produces the largest amount of construction and demolition (C&D) waste around the world, but the average recovery rate of the waste was only about 5% in 2017. In order to investigate problems in current C&D waste management in China, a cross-national comparative analysis is conducted among China and seven selected countries (Japan, South Korea, Germany, Italy, Austria, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom), to compare legal texts of national policies and laws which relate to C&D waste management and are currently being used. Through the comparison, problems in management of C&D waste in China are investigated. The problems could be concluded to: (a) inadequate guidance on recycling, (b) lack of market incentives in utilising recycled materials, (c) incomplete knowledge of stakeholders’ responsibilities, (d) lack of penalty for other stakeholders, and (e) inefficient supervision system. By understanding these problems, this paper further provides recommendations to enhance the performance of C&D waste management in China.

国际建筑拆迁废弃物管理政策与法律的比较分析

在当前环境意识增强的时代，建筑业需要向可持续管理转变。中国目前是世界上产生建筑和拆除垃圾最多的国家，但2017年垃圾的平均回收率仅为5%左右。为了调查中国目前煤矸石管理中存在的问题，本研究对中国和选定的七个国家(日本、韩国、德国、意大利、奥地利、荷兰和英国)进行了跨国比较分析，比较目前正在使用的与煤矸石管理有关的国家政策和法律的法律文本。通过比较，探讨了中国建设废物管理中存在的问题。这些问题可以归结为:(a)对回收利用的指导不足，(b)在利用回收材料方面缺乏市场激励，(c)对利益相关者的责任了解不完全，(d)缺乏对其他利益相关者的惩罚，以及(e)监管体系效率低下。通过对这些问题的认识，本文进一步提出了提高中国建设废物管理绩效的建议。
