“…Segundo a ALBREPE (2022), no Brasil, em 2021 foram coletados pelos munícipios mais de 48 milhões de toneladas de resíduos de construção e demolição (RCD), o que representa um crescimento de 2,9% em relação ao ano anterior, com uma taxa de geração de 227kg/habitante/ano. Segundo Hammes et al, (2020), a maior parte do RCD no Brasil vai para lixões e aterros sanitários, e consequentemente o valor econômico e de uso desses materiais são desperdiçados.…”

“…Apesar dos estudos recentes ressaltarem a importância e aplicabilidade dos conceitos de EC e logística reversa, as construtoras em geral ainda tem dificuldade em gerir e/ou reaproveitar adequadamente e de forma eficiente os resíduos de seus processos ( VAN DEN BERG, VOORDIJK e ADRIAANSE, 2020). Mattos, Scur e Albuquerque (2022) destacam que um grande desafio para investimentos de impacto como estes está intimamente associado ao desenvolvimento de um modelo de avaliação eficiente para que seja possível mensurar o real impacto dos negócios. Os autores sinalizam a importância da utilização de uma ferramenta integradora para avaliar os investimentos de impacto e aplicar a um negócio circular, e observam o potencial e a importância da TdM para apoiar a perpetuidade deste processo.…”

A construção civil é um setor primordial para a economia de qualquer país, sendo responsável por desenvolver infraestruturas, gerar empregos e moldar o ambiente construído. No entanto, esse setor causa diversos impactos ambientais e na grande maioria dos casos, adota um modelo linear de economia que não considera a reciclagem e/ou reutilização dos materiais ao longo do ciclo de produção. O objetivo do presente estudo é avaliar os impactos ambientais, econômicos e sociais de uma proposta de modelo de negócio circular a partir da abordagem da Teoria da Mudança (TdM). A metodologia empregada envolveu uma pesquisa exploratória associada a um estudo de caso, dividida em três macro etapas, com a finalidade de desenvolver a TdM para o modelo proposto. A TdM foi construída a partir da análise de indicadores ambientais, econômicos e sociais coletados na organização e da realização de entrevistas com líderes internos dos processos envolvidos. Os resultados indicaram que o modelo de negócio circular proposto pode produzir impactos significativos no grupo empresarial em termos econômicos, sociais e ambientais, além de contribuir para a disseminação de outros modelos de negócios circulares dentro da organização.

“…For instance, the public may refuse to cooperate with the waste sorting policy (Zheng et al, 2020); consumers' poor perceptions of returning products may impede the reverse logistics in circular models (Shahidzadeh & Shokouhyar, 2022). To remove such barriers and introduce high efficiency to the operation of CE systems, many scholars studied how to promote CE (Schraven et al, 2019;Ghinoi et al, 2020;Doussoulin & Bittencourt, 2022). The promotion of CE can be performed from the technical and practical perspectives.…”

Circular economy (CE) is a sustainable alternative to tackle global challenges like climate change, waste, and pollution. The relations, perceptions and behaviors of stakeholders in circular economic activities may form barriers that hinder the circular transition. The promotion of CE requires investigating the interactions and information flow between CE stakeholders from a network perspective. This study revisits the applications of social network analysis (SNA) in promoting CE. Related concepts of CE and the research contents of SNA are reviewed. A bibliometric analysis is conducted to provide a bird’s eye on the research status and trend. On this basis, we summarize the challenges of promoting CE and refine specific problems, around which we review the research status of network modeling methods and statistical measures, information diffusion models, mining methods of perceptions, and social influence analysis. This study outlines the pathways through which SNA contributes to promoting CE, such as through revealing the relational structure and characteristics of stakeholders, forming and changing perceptions of stakeholders, improving behaviors of stakeholders, and examining the development of CE. The lessons learned from the review and future prospects are extensively discussed in combination with the features of the information age from both theoretical and practical perspectives.

“…and "What are the contributions of such practices to achieving Sustainable Development Goals proposed by the UN?" Analyzing the context of the construction sector in an emerging economy is important due to specific challenges, such as limited access to technology and infrastructure for sustainable practices [27][28][29]. Brazil has a large construction industry which faces significant environmental, social, and economic challenges, such as social inequality, scarcity of natural resources, a lack of basic sanitation, and a housing deficit [28].…”

This research aimed to analyze the perceptions of professionals in the construction sector operating in Brazil regarding the development of sustainability practices in the sector and their contributions to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). To this end, a literature review was developed, a survey was conducted among industry professionals, and the collected data were treated using Cronbach’s alpha, hierarchical cluster analysis, and the TOPSIS multicriteria method. As a result, considering the generated ranking, the practices determining the promotion of a more sustainable construction sector were the encouragement and promotion of sustainability-focused events, education on sustainability, water treatment, and community project development. From the perspective of contributions to achieving the UN SDGs, greater alignment of sustainable practices with the established goals was highlighted in SDG 1, which seeks to eradicate poverty; SDG 4, which promotes inclusive education; SDG 6, referring to the importance of water treatment and access for all; SDG 7, which aims to ensure access to clean and affordable energy; SDG 9, which proposes the development of resilient, inclusive, and sustainable infrastructure; SDG 11, which advocates for sustainable cities and communities; and SDG 12, which proposes the adoption of more sustainable production and consumption patterns. It is believed that this research represents the first exploratory study to consider sustainable practices in the civil construction sector, which are aligned with the sustainable development objectives proposed by the UN and consider the context of a country with an emerging economy from the perspective of professionals working in the sector.
