What is it about?
This study investigates how knowledge management frameworks can enhance sustainable practices in construction and demolition waste recovery, focusing on aluminum composite panel (ACP) wastes from a Public Sector Building Renovation. We evaluated four end-of-life scenarios, i.e., reselling, refurbishing, repurposing, and landfilling. Among all the assessed scenarios, repurposing ACP wastes offered the most viable path forward, balancing cost-effectiveness with environmental and certification goals such as LEED. The findings offer practical insights for policymakers, civil engineers, construction managers, and sustainability advocates working toward low-carbon, resource-efficient construction.

Perspectives
This publication aligns with my research ethos, blending knowledge management and sustainable engineering. Its pragmatic approach to aluminum panel recovery and scenario evaluation echoes my interest in modeling low-carbon infrastructure. I value its integration of technical feasibility with Thailand’s Net Zero 2065 target, offering a strategic lens on renovation as a driver of innovation and resource efficiency.
