Abstract—With the higher amount of buildings and
infrastructures in Bangkok, Thailand, the number of
construction and demolition (C&D) waste is increasing
continuously. These wastes, if not completely recycled,
will create the environmental problems. This research
paper concentrates on the use of a system dynamics
modeling technique to develop a C&D waste recycling
model. Data and related relationships were generated to
develop the simulated equations to simulate the model to
reflect real practices of the construction industry in
Bangkok, Thailand. The simulation results reveal the
improved C&D waste recycled over time.
Index Terms—Construction and demolition waste, recycling,
