Abstract
Few issues in construction give rise to more controversy than dealing with construction and demolition (C&D) waste. The problem is the same the world over. In Hong Kong it has been exacerbated by conflicting definitions in governing primary and secondary legislation as to what qualifies as waste, which affects how it should be dealt with - whether recycled or filled. In the first instalment of a two-part article Dr Arthur McInnis and David Hall-Jones of Denton Wilde Sapte look at how C&D waste is dealt with in other leading jurisdictions and then draw some conclusions for how Hong Kong might address the issue.
(1) Hong Kong context
(2) The Canadian context for waste management multiple definitions of waste
