        abstract = {With the ever-developing world, construction activities are the forefront indicators of progress and economic growth. This leads to the creation of big cities along with the supporting infrastructure. But as time progresses, new and more efficient systems and technologies arise along with the ever-increasing population and the need to cater for their necessities. The inevitable passage of time and this need for expansion especially in space limited environments necessitate the decommissioning and demolition of existing structures as they cannot be reasonably upgraded for new needs or is degraded to a point the serviceability is reduced below requirements. This calls for the process of engineered demolition. It solves the problem of decommissioning the old structure, creating space for new ones and eliminating the hazards of degraded structure all at once. This study focuses on the topic on demolition waste management and the application of the concept of reverse logistics in demolition management. Reverse logistics aims to find the solution for waste generated during demolition activities while promoting the ideas of sustainability and resource recycling on a practical level with very less to no additional cost. This study aims to analyse multiple researches including case studies, theorized concepts and related content to explain about the factors involved in demolition process, waste management and the use of reverse logistics in all of that.},
