Inthe past, the inert part of the CD materials has been reused as public fill in reclamation projects, which results in land supply for development.However, with the recent raised awareness of sustainable development, recycling is accepted as a valuable process that turns useless materials intouseful products. The inert CD materials comprise of rocks, sand, mud, slurry, brokenconcrete, and rubble. It could be recycled into aggregate for use as civilengineering construction materials. The construction industry is seekingways to ensure that recycling of CD material is viable and sustainable. The paper discussed the initiation of the idea of recycling of CDmaterial, the preparation for introducing the use of recycling CD products,the promotion of its use and the establishment of the first pilot recyclingplant. Finally, the paper describes the strategy for recycling of CDmaterials.
