To close the loop for the circular economy (CE) transition in the construction industry,
forward logistics (FL) and reverse logistics (RL), as enabling operations for CE, are …

A growing concern is given to the environmental impacts caused by the construction
industry. Waste generation, resource consumption, and greenhouse gas emissions are the …

This study provides a comprehensive view of the research field of construction and
demolition waste (CDW) management in the circular economy based on a literature review …

Reusing high-value construction materials from existing buildings that otherwise would be
discarded as waste is a key strategy for achieving a circular economy. However, this …

The condition of heritage and historic timber constructions depends on how they are
exploited. Numerous environmental factors degrade the physical and mechanical properties …

The construction industry plays a critical role in tackling the challenges of climate change,
