Construction and demolition waste (CDW) is one of the largest contributors to global streams, simultaneously posing significant environmental resource management challenges. The CDW, particularly its potential for energy recovery industrial symbiosis, has garnered increasing attention as part a circular economy approach. This comprehensive review explores practices in CDW management, analysing theoretical developments, technological advancements, emerging reuse trends. Background: accounts more than third all generated EU. A wide variety materials, such concrete, bricks, wood, glass, metals, plastics, make it very un-homogenous stream with high material through different approaches. Methods: draws on an extensive analysis scientific literature, case studies, industry reports assess current assessment feasibility recovery, object reconstruction. Results: originality research based Latvian study that provides valuable insights into household-level progress towards relevant UN SDGs. Conclusions: Various streams have undeniable valorization various Currently, most common approach recycling, although broaden application within framework. For instance, symbiosis solution can not only boost but also significantly increase circularity.

Purpose This study aims to present state-of-the-art research on circular economy (CE) implementation in construction and demolition waste management (CDWM) within the sector. Design/methodology/approach A mixed-method (scientometric critical analysis) review strategy was adopted, involving scientometric analysis uncover evolutionary progress area, investigate key themes field, explore ten issues of CE CDWM. Moreover, avenues for future are provided researchers, practitioners, decision-makers, planners bring innovative new knowledge this field. Findings total 212 articles were analyzed, performed. The findings reveal extensive use surveys, interviews, case studies, or approaches as methodologies. Furthermore, there is limited focus application modern technologies, modeling approaches, decision support systems, monitoring traceability tools CDWM Additionally, no structured framework implement areas has been found, existing frameworks based traditional linear models. none studies discuss readiness factors, performance measurement life cycle assessment indicators. Practical implications outcomes can be utilized by sector managers, policymakers comprehend state-of-the-art, current topics, gain detailed insights into areas. offers suggestions addressing these effectively. Originality/value employs a universal approach provide holistic about various important CDWM, offering opportunities directions area.

Construction and demolition waste (CDW) worldwide generation accounts 10 billion tonnes yearly. The major fraction is landfilled requiring innovative recycling methods to reduce the associated environmental impacts increase its circularity. Our study demonstrated feasibility of using different CDW fines develop recycled cements optimized content with well-graded crushed stone (WGCS) for use as pavement base layer. We scaled up obtaining cement aggregates from a local plant, well pilot sections designed, constructed field deflections measured. As results, pastes exhibited accumulated heat values 111 J g −1 achieved compressive strength approximately 16 MPa. unconfined resilient modulus (RM) WGCS were 2–3 >3000 MPa, respectively. intermediate behaviour compared those obtained reference materials (6% Portland cement-WGCS conventional granular made WGCS). deflection decreased over time owing pozzolanic reaction.
