Design for Disassembly and Reuse of Timber in Construction: Identification of Trends and Knowledge Gaps
The transition to a circular economy (CE) offers an alternative path to the current linear, high-polluting, and wasteful practices in construction. In this context, there is a growing interest in studying the potential environmental benefits of extending the lifespan of renewably-sourced wood-based building products through reuse. However, most publications still fail to present a conceptually integrated and comprehensive view of the topic that allows for a broader understanding of its possibilities and challenges. This paper assesses two decades of literature on DfD&R of timber in construction. It develops a comprehensive state-of-the-art framework about the topic, unveiling its most critical challenges, trends, and pressing knowledge gaps. The outcomes of this work contribute to determining more integrated strategies and decision-making tools that could point to further development in the field of timber construction from a DfD&R standpoint, thus facilitating the transition to a CE.
