Design strategies to minimize waste
Abstract
This research study is focused on obtaining waste minimization strategies that designers can apply to their projects. With a rapid increase in construction recently, the high production of waste produced is dumped in landfills after being used without segregating them with hazardous material or considering if the material can be re-used.
This paper considers how designers globally focus on environmentally responsible designs and the appropriate ways designers reduce material waste. This research will help understand what techniques designers can use in the name of environmentally sustainable design practices to practice waste minimization. The paper will consist of information about waste management strategies and the tools to assess the sustainable factors and explain the principles of using resources efficiently in the design stage; these factors are reviewed by describing how the designers can achieve these techniques in the design process. These factors are obtained with the help of survey responses and a literature review. Qualitative methods were used for the research. For analyzing the survey responses, descriptive analysis is chosen. This study is a step to create awareness for the designers to adopt and implement waste minimization strategies for a sustainable future.
