Abstract Few studies reported using the convolutional neural network with transfer learning to finely classify the construction and demolition waste. This study aims to develop a highly efficient method to realize the finely sorting the construction and demolition waste, which is a key step for promoting the recycling system to realize carbon neutrality in the waste management sector. C&DWNet models, ResNet structures based on knowledge transfer and cyclical learning rate, were proposed to classify ten types of construction and demolition waste. Indexes (confusion metric, accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score, sensitivity, specificity and kappa) were adopted to evaluate the performance of various C&DWNet models. Knowledge transfer can reduce the training time and improve the performance of the C&DWNet model. The average training time is increased with the increase of the layer of C&DWNet architecture from C&DWNet-18 (946.7 s) to C&DWNet-152 (1186.6 s). The accuracy of various C&DWNet models is approximately 72-74%; the best accuracy is 73.6% in C&DWNet-152. C&DWNet-18 is more suitable for the classification of construction and demolition waste in terms of training time, accuracy, precision, and F1 score. Moreover, the t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding can distinctly separate each type of construction and demolition waste. The environmental applications and limitations of the C&DWNet module were also discussed, which could provide a reference for the intelligent management of construction and demolition waste and promote the development of the circular economy.
