ANALYSIS OF ASIAN COUNTRIES IN CONSTRUCTION WASTE RECYCLING AND INTRODUCTION IN KAZAKHSTAN

The article presents a review of the experience of construction waste recycling in Asian countries, with a focus on the examination of successful strategies and practices that have been implemented in Japan, South Korea, and Singapore. As a consequence of the ongoing process of urbanization and the concomitant increase in construction activities in the region, the problem of construction waste management is becoming increasingly urgent. As reported by the World Bank, the Asia-Pacific region generates more than 1.5 billion tons of construction waste on an annual basis, necessitating the urgent implementation of recycling and reuse solutions. In comparison with Asian countries, the article also examines the problem of construction waste recycling in Kazakhstan, emphasizing the relevance of this topic in the context of a growing construction sector and increasing waste volumes. The quantity of construction waste generated in the country is reaching a considerable magnitude, with only a modest proportion of it being recycled, thereby creating significant environmental and economic challenges. The article examines existing recycling practices and technologies, including concrete recycling, wood and metal waste use, and examples of successful recycling implementation. The article identifies the challenges faced by construction companies, including a need for more infrastructure, low awareness, and economic barriers. Keywords: construction waste, recycling, concrete, wood, metal.
