The construction industry generates a whole variety of waste, depending on the amount and form of waste, such as the construction phase, type of work and on-site practice. Therefore, effective sustainable construction waste management practices must be done. It is important to observe sustainability in this aspect so that every bit of waste can be managed in an efficient manner rather than just dumping it all in landfills. Hence, sustainable waste management can be one of the prevention methods to prevent construction waste from becoming a contributor to pollution and, indirectly, environmental sustainability can be achieved. The aim of this study is to evaluate the implementation of sustainable construction waste management practices in the design and construction phase at the construction site in Pulau Pinang. The data collected from the 68 respondents and the questionnaire was analysed by SPSS version 25.0 and the results found that the effective sustainable construction waste management practice is 3R, followed by good, estimated materials and provides space due to cost-effective practices. Thus, the ranking analyses can be used as a guideline for contractors and consultants to implement waste management practices for their projects, such as construction waste prevention. Moreover, this study also found that the image of a company can be improved and raised by implementing sustainable construction waste management.
