This study addresses the challenges and barriers associated with implementation of circular economy principles in architectural design construction practices. It highlights fragmented knowledge lack a unified approach to as major obstacle hindering adoption circularity. The existing frameworks for assessing circularity, such Material Circularity Indicator (MCI) protocol Level(s) assessment prot...

To consider disassembly from project inception is becoming an essential part of the design process. This approach enables reuse and recycling materials at end life cycle buildings, reducing need for raw to produce new products whilst increasing a building's flexibility during any potential reconfiguration. Above all, contributes sustainability within sector.Little known however about designing ...

Embracing the design for disassembly (DfD) mindset when constructing new and renovating existing buildings is a promising means of achieving our climate targets putting circular economy principles in practice, as promoted European Green Deal. Current greenhouse gas emissions’ accounting frameworks only deal with DfD to certain extent. A better more common understanding how this can be carried o...

Design for disassembly (DfD) approaches play a vital role in (re)designing products from improving their sustainability and circularity performance. This is particularly true the case of complex resource-intensive wherein material recovery reutilization at end-of-life (EoL) dictated by ease-of-disassembly. Various DfD have been developed increasing valuable materials reducing overall time (DT)....

Abstract Design for disassembly (DfD) approaches are crucial in supporting the industrial circular economy transition. In literature, a great amount of DfD methodologies is available, however, it still not clear how they can be used to improve product circularity. To address this gap, our work proposed systematic literature review applied field design with aim provide an overview topic last dec...

O setor da construção tem se tornado um dos grandes motivos de preocupação ambiental, principalmente quando trata emissão dióxido carbono e geração resíduos. Uma forma mitigar tais impactos consiste na substituição sistema linear para modelo Economia Circular (EC). Nesse modelo, a reciclagem Resíduos Construção Demolição (RCD) em uma prática bastante estudada há mais 20 anos, enquanto pesquisas...

closed-loop supply chain network (clscn) design aims at incorporating environmental considerations into the traditional supply chain design by including recycling, disassembly and reuse activities. in a clscn, the environmental considerations can also be facilitated by resorting to environmentally friendly materials and enhancing product reuse through the design of an appropriate product recove...

The aim of this paper is to identify Critical Success Factors (CSF) needed for effective material recovery through Design for Deconstruction (DfD). The research approach employed in this paper is based on a sequential exploratory mixed method strategy. After a thorough review of literature and conducting four Focus Group Discussion (FGDs), 43 DfD factors were identified and put together in a qu...
