Circular economy in the construction industry: A review of decision support tools based on Information & Communication Technologies

Yifei Yu et al.

Summary: The construction industry plays a critical role in the transition to a Circular Economy (CE). However, the unique characteristics of the industry and the complexity of CE pose challenges to its implementation in construction. Information & Communication Technologies (ICT) are recognized as promising solutions for addressing these challenges. This study provides a comprehensive overview of ICT-based decision support tools for implementing construction CE. It identifies the state-of-the-art tools and proposes a theoretical framework for understanding how ICT can support circular construction practices throughout the building life-cycle. The study also highlights the challenges and provides recommendations for future research, emphasizing the need for integrating relevant technologies in a comprehensive information system.

Explore potential barriers of applying circular economy in construction and demolition waste recycling

Jingkuang Liu et al.

Summary: This study used social network analysis to explore potential barriers, key stages, and core cluster positions of construction and demolition waste recycling in the circular economy model in Guangzhou. The findings suggest a lack of effective management mechanisms, inadequate government incentives and policies, insufficient public education, and a lacking legal framework for C&DW management are key barriers. The key stage identified is the promotion and application of recycled products in advancing the circular economy initiatives in the construction industry.

Barriers and Enablers to Circular Building Design in the US: An Empirical Study

Fernanda Cruz Rios et al.

Summary: Discussions on circular economy (CE) are expanding beyond Eurocentric approaches, and the US building sector has significant impacts in resource use, waste generation, and carbon emissions. Strategies like design for disassembly (DfD) are crucial for circular building design, but have not gained momentum in the US. Barriers to circular building design in the US differ from those in European countries, with more educational and cultural barriers identified in the US context. Stakeholders such as policymakers, NGOs, industry associations, and researchers play a key role in enabling CE in the US building sector.

Assessing the social sustainability of circular economy practices: Industry perspectives from Italy and the Netherlands

Anna M. Walker et al.

Summary: Despite the common association of circular economy (CE) with sustainability, most CE practices have not proven to contribute to achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in the social aspect. Companies generally view the social dimension as important in assessing CE, but majority do not conduct any social assessment, with barriers including complexity and lack of standardized approaches.

Uses of building information modelling for overcoming barriers to a circular economy

Rabia Charef et al.

Summary: The current linear economy approach in the construction industry is causing environmental impact, prompting the urgent need for a shift towards a circular economy model. While building information modelling (BIM) is now widely mandated, its use in managing a building's end-of-life remains rare. Research and interviews have identified 35 potential BIM uses to support the adoption of a circular economy approach, with some new applications discovered through interviews.

Barriers to Implementing the Circular Economy in the Construction Industry: A Critical Review

Rabia Charef et al.

Summary: This paper critically reviews journal papers dealing with barriers to implementing sustainable designs and approaches to asset end-of-life management in the context of circular economy (CE). It identifies 18 approaches related to prefabrication, design for change, design for deconstruction, reverse logistics, waste management, and closed-loop systems. Barriers common among these approaches are classified into six categories, with most relating to organizational concerns.
