Types of construction waste divide into two principal groups; these are material waste and time waste, which are generated through direct and indirect processes. The future of construction is to minimize construction and time costs, to ten percent, annually, by reducing the project defects and eliminating waste to twenty percent per year. With this in view, green building design and sustainability is to be adopted into designing construction projects, which are useful for overcoming the negative impact of construction waste, either on the environmental side or on the monetary side, by increasing energy efficiency, water conservation, material and resource management and construction waste management. The green design tools used in eliminating construction waste are such implements as; value engineering and management, the "Designing Out Waste" tool, construction and demolition waste management plans and supply-chain management.
