A Study of Circular Economy Strategies for the Life Cycle of Building Construction Projects: A Systematic Review
The Circular Economy (CE) is a philosophy that aims to alter current consumption and output trends that are putting a tremendous strain on the earth and its environment. It has been extensively reviewed throughout the world as an alternative to the old economic model, namely, “purchase, consumption and dispose”, as well as a solution to the complication of efficient use of resources and environmental pollutions. CE applies theories from environmental economics, ecological economics and industrial ecology to the business-sustainability relationship. By adopting particular CE strategies, savings may occur by creating proper systems to retain value and keep the resources flowing in a circular manner. This approach would close materials and components, energy, and water loops and minimize the associated potential environmental impacts. This has driven recent researchers to investigate the CE strategies that are applicable to the construction industry. However, those studies are limited to given local contexts, thus, the knowledge is scattered. Therefore, this paper aims to analyse CE strategies for the life cycle of building collectively, using a systematic review towards understanding the significance. Filtering the search from the period of 2015 to 2022 offered 18 out of 113 research articles suitable for the analysis. The collected data shows high variability related to different stages of building and suitable CE strategies for the building life cycle. According to the review, preconstruction, construction building renovation, use and operate, demolitions and repurpose, material recovery and production stages account for the highest portion of the life cycle of building for which CE strategies could be highly incorporated. Further, it is expected that the collective reviews regarding building stages would better guide the categorisation of CE strategies in the built environment.
