“…There is a whole range of materials that combine these concepts. Some companies monitor the condition of these materials and allow them to stay in the life cycle by finding a suitable application for them [7][8][9]. This way, new types of materials whose properties are significantly different from those of original materials (wood) are entering production systems.…”

Straw is a general term for the stem and leaf parts of mature crops, and is a multi-purpose renewable biomass energy resource in the agricultural ecosystem. The prospect of comprehensive utilization of straw has become broad with the development of agricultural production, the advancement of science and technology, and the improvement of the level of agricultural mechanization. The comprehensive utilization of straw plays an important role in enhancing the sustainable development ability of agricultural economy and improving the current situation of comprehensive utilization of agricultural resources in my country. This paper briefly combs the development history of straw and the prospect and current situation of comprehensive utilization, and expounds the separation technology of straw components, straw man-made panels, straw concrete, straw returning technology and oyster mushroom cultivation. It focuses on the description of the component separation technology of straw and the manufacturing process of straw-based panels. The different separation methods and separation effects of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin were introduced in detail, and the static yield strength (MOR), internal bonding strength (IB) and water absorption thickness of several common straw-based panels were compared and studied (TS). Finally, it summarizes the benefit analysis of the comprehensive utilization of straw by scholars from the perspective of economics, and summarizes the corresponding measures based on their own views.

“…The construction sector is a resource-intensive industry that consumes 50% of all materials, generates 36% of waste, and emits 35% of greenhouse gas in Europe [1]. The business-as-usual linear model has gone to a turning point where a more resilient, sustainable, and digital ecosystem in the sector is required.…”

The presence of hazardous materials inhibits material circularity. The existing residential buildings are exposed to the risk of the unforeseen presence of asbestos-containing materials during the demolition or renovation process. Estimating the potential occurrence of contaminated building components can therefore facilitate semi-selective demolition and decontamination planning. The study aims to investigate the prediction possibility of seven frequently detected asbestos-containing materials by using artificial neural networks based on a hazardous material dataset from pre-demolition audit inventories and national building registers. Through iterative model evaluation and careful hyperparameter tuning, the prediction performance for each asbestos-containing material was benchmarked. A high level of accuracy was obtained for asbestos pipe insulation and ventilation channel, yet barely any patterns were found for asbestos floor mats. Artificial neural networks show potential for classifying specific asbestos components and can enhance the knowledge of their detection patterns. However, more quality data are needed to bring the models into practice for risk assessment for not yet inventoried residential buildings. The proposed screening approach for in situ asbestos-containing materials has high applicability for the quality assurance of recycled materials in circular value chains.

“…Analysis of implementation of circular economy concept into practice should take into account the perspective of different sectors, especially the cooperation between business sectors and consumers (Migliore et al, 2020). Knowing the specifics of buyers' behaviours, especially in terms of the circular economy, makes it possible to determine what products and what delivery method they will need from suppliers.…”
