Effective waste management is essential for sustainable urban development, and Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste poses a significant challenge due to its volume and composition in urban regions. In recent years, technological advancements have offered innovative solutions to improve the management of C&D waste. This exploratory study primarily uses secondary data and draws on case studies from 5 Indian cities and global literature on technological innovations in C&D waste management to propose a preliminary framework for identifying how different technologies can play a vital role and where they can be incorporated into the reverse supply chain of C&D waste in the Indian urban context. This paper paves the road for future research that will use this initial framework to identify more practical technological solutions based on a thorough understanding of ground reality, improving chances of technology adoption.
Key words: Construction and Demolition Waste / Technology / Reverse Supply Chain / Efficient Waste Management / Innovative Solutions
