THE USE OF WASTE MATERIALS IN CIVIL ENGINEERING IN UZBEKISTAN
Abstract
Given the pressing problem of environmental pollution in Uzbekistan, sustainable development requires innovative solutions.This study explores the concept of waste integration in civil engineering. Analyzing this project in detail is pivotal, as it not only provides environmentally sustainable development, but also provides economic benefits. The use of disposal waste in construction is a concise management of resources, as virgin natural resources will be conserved. Also, management of waste materials is a more economically favorable choice for companies and governments. A combination of descriptive and qualitative data was employed to clarify the idea of waste use in building construction. International case studies and journals were examined and carefully sorted out to make sure only relevant sources are employed. After collecting secondary data, the study recommends focusing on such areas as public education and technological innovations. Integrating the project of waste incorporation in civil engineering in Uzbekistan contributes to the country's overall sustainable development and bright future.
