Third-party loop operators play an important role in the circular economy (CE) by closing resource loops for other firms. These third-party face a key business model decision: whether to perform CE activities in-house or externally. We adopt activity-based view (ABV) as theoretical lens divide into five activities: collection, sorting, pre-processing, transformation, and integration. By analysing 79 using Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA), we found that these are performed two bundles. When collection activity in-house, they likely sorting well. The remaining (pre-processing, integration) also together, either Furthermore, identify some boundary conditions affect why bundles supply concentration is high, tend because access highly concentrated sources can result competitive advantage. uncertainty about waste condition low, develop efficient integration in-house. Activity gaps emerge when no actor market carry out activity. In this case, fill gap carrying internally.

Building construction accounts for a significant proportion of global greenhouse gas emissions, raw material extraction, and waste production. Applying circular economy (CE) principles in the building industry would considerably reduce these values. However, uptake by is relatively slow, which largely attributed to sectoral barriers, including limitations knowledge experience. This review paper aims assess contribute diminishing obstacles offering comprehensive usage strategies within sector. Opportunities facilitators change are also presented, innovations emerging technologies recycling, digitization, robotic systems, novel materials, processing. Finally, four case studies demonstrate application theory via block system, recycled aggregate, modular kitchen reuse, an energy efficiency retrofit. The conclusions show that future efforts should prioritize development strong regulatory frameworks, awareness initiatives, international cooperation. In this regard, integration technological advancements, such as AI, robotics, blockchain, essential optimizing management efficiency. Furthermore, education on practices plays critical role. Through collaboration, standardizing approaches can promote more sustainable resilient industry.

A circular economy (CE) is an economic model that involves more sustainable management of raw materials and waste. Implementation CE assumptions highly recommended in the form dedicated technologies as well business models, so-called models (CBMs), which are integral part environmental organizations. Depending on application type sector or enterprise, CBMs defined differently, focusing various areas waste management. In general, they should create added value for given enterprise meets integrate principles with organization’s practices. This paper aims to analyze different approaches use comparative analysis desk research methods. The scope this includes a CBM definitions their typologies, basics creating enterprises. Moreover, good practices implemented CMBs enterprises presented. general definition developed “a assumes creating, delivering capturing consumer while considering principles”. Furthermore, building using modified Business Model Canvas proposed. consider key assumption, i.e., increased material efficiency. coming years, further increase interest specific sectors activity expected. Various stakeholders could them benchmark compare define best successful adoption future.

This study explores the optimization of kinetic facades to promote environmental sustainability in building designs, addressing critical issues high energy consumption and CO 2 emissions prevalent construction sector. The focus is on achieving an intricate balance between maximizing natural daylight minimizing solar radiation using innovative facade designs. Parametric modeling tools are utilized design process experiment with various configurations. effectiveness these designs then validated both digital physical prototypes, their adaptability diverse climatic conditions evaluated through dynamic simulations. A key component application Wallacei plugin for Grasshopper, which assists multi-objective determine most effective aperture ratios. results demonstrates a substantial reduction levels, 70% decrease first floor 76% seventh floor, achieved by optimizing concludes that significantly improves performance compared traditional glass facades, offering enhancement reduction, influenced seasonal changes. It also emphasizes importance factors such as height surrounding environment design. Overall, findings highlight viable solution improving efficiency occupant comfort, suggesting promising avenue advancements architectural construction.

Global development is integral to construction activities that consume enormous amounts of natural resources, which a considerable part wasted during the and demolition phases. Only small such waste recovered recycled, rest goes landfills dumpsites, containing high volume recoverable reusable materials components, causing environmental hazards depleting resources. This occurs due practice linear economic model in construction. By contrast, circular economy (CE) approach can potentially offer an effective solution for this issue, through its long-lasting standardized design with reduced resource input; extensive reuse recycling products components. However, CE not being widely practiced. As such, study was designed investigate why practiced, what needs be done wider adoption. beginning, systematic literature review extracted 32 motivators, 35 challenges 31 strategies. Further analysis clustered these three groups factors into eight focus areas of: legal regulatory framework; knowledge, education training; infrastructure, technology innovation; awareness promotion support; collaboration information sharing; standardization; business positive finance economics.
