On the other hand, this project also reviewed the trails and quantities of lifecycle major resources and wastes for building constructions in Taiwan. Among the major resources of building constructions in 2019, the metal products were utilized over 5.45 million tons and concrete products were utilized over 43.26 million tons. Besides, the construction waste was generated over 15.8 million tons and surplus soil was generated over 68.9 million tons. In addition to reviewing the current status of construction waste management and building construction resources in Taiwan, other results of this project were as followed: 1. Reviewed the related construction waste management strategies of the European Union, the Netherlands, the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, and so on, and analyzed the current waste management issues in Taiwan. 2. Developed a circulation blueprint for construction resources in Taiwan and suggested the waste bricks and concrete be given precedence for construction circulation. 3. Developed a recycling and management guideline draft for the construction resources, including building demolition sequence and waste classification, and resources reusing suggestions and related regulations. 4. Reviewed domestic and international asbestos waste management regulations, evaluated the possibility of heat treatment for asbestos waste, and suggested asbestos waste management methods in Taiwan. 5. Held 2 expert meetings to confirm the probable management benefits and suggestions for construction and demolition waste and evaluated the strategies of the construction industry alliance.
