    In Ethiopia, the rapid growth of the construction sector has led to increased waste of construction materials that negatively impacts the environment, society, and economy. This is due to ineffective waste management practices used on construction projects. As a result, satisfactory material waste management is needed. The study identified key techniques to minimize material waste in building projects through surveys, interviews and literature reviews. These techniques include employing waste management officers, using prefabricated components, proper on-site waste management, and having a material waste minimization plan policy.

    ABSTRACT

    In Ethiopia, the quick development of the construction sector has caused in the wastage of
    construction materials that undesirably affect the environment, society, and the economy.
    The cause is ineffective waste management approaches practiced in construction projects.
    Hence, a satisfactory material waste management approach is mandatory. This study was an
    attempt to identify the key techniques that can help to minimize material wastage in
    building construction projects. Questionnaire surveys, interviews, and reviews of previous
    studies and related literature were used in gathering the relevant data. The
    results indicated that employing waste management officers for this purpose, using
    prefabricated or off-site production of components, appropriate on-site waste
    management, and incorporating a policy of material waste minimization plan were
    identified as key measures to minimize construction material wastes.
