| Abstract | The reduction and management of construction waste is crucial for the sustainable development of the construction industry. This research aims to explore a comparative analysis on decoupling relationship between economic growth and construction waste generation on European Union (EU) and Chi et al., 2020 to 2020 in the construction industry, through an integrated method framework of "Tapio + Kaya + LMDI". The research results indicate that there are significant differences in construction waste generation among different countries. The growth rates of construction waste in the EU and China from 2004 to 2020 were 2.47 % and 10.5 %, respectively, showing an upward trend. The economic growth of the construction industry in most EU countries is in a decoupling and negative decoupling state with significant regional differences in decoupling status. The construction waste generation in China is mainly in a weak decoupling state. Economic and demographic factors are the main factors promoting the increase in construction waste generation, while technological factors are the main factors inhibiting construction waste generation in EU and China. However, the impact of each factor on construction was generation varies from EU countries. The research reveals the decoupling effect mechanism between construction waste generation and economic growth, and improves the theory of construction waste management, promotes sustainable development. These findings have feasible inspiration for construction waste management in developing countries with different economic growth levels. |
