A BIM–WMS Management Tool for the Reverse Logistics Supply Chain of Demolition Waste

In the construction industry, the reverse logistics supply chain (RLSC) is one of the measures used to effectively manage demolition waste. However, there are still many problems associated with its operation, including inaccurate calculation of demolition waste supplies and insufficient interaction between supply and demand information, and waste suppliers usually choose transportation alternatives associated with high carbon emissions to obtain economic benefits. These issues have hindered the sustainable development of the RLSC. This paper proposes a waste recycling facility selection system (WRFSS) that integrates building information modeling (BIM), web map service (WMS), and an application programming interface (API) plug-in. Compared to the actual transportation scenario, the transportation distance of the WRFSS was reduced by 30.6 km and the amount of carbon dioxide emissions were reduced by 0.0259 tons. This selection system realizes an optimal selection mechanism for waste recycling facilities and develops the shortest transportation plan, thereby reducing carbon emissions during transportation and achieving sustainable development.
