Description
The construction industry in particular is experiencing a time of fast expansion as a result of the circular economy (CE), which is causing firms all over the globe to go through this transformation. The purpose of this research is to investigate the practise of incorporating CE principles into the construction industry, with a particular emphasis on the advancement of environmentally sustainable activities. The purpose is to lessen the negative effect that it has on the environment, which is the objective of SDG 12, which is being carried out simultaneously. We perform an analysis of the most recent developments, obstacles, and possibilities in the construction industry in order to assess the ways in which CE practices have the potential to bring about a decrease in the amount of waste that is produced, the preservation of resources, and a lessening of the effect on the environment. We use a mixed-methods approach, which includes data analysis, case studies, and interviews, in order to give insights on the progress that the construction sector has accomplished towards CE. 2026 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
