“…The total number of reviewed literatures are 24. From the studies, it is observed that the end of life phase is a major consideration for circular economy in buildings as material components are either reused directly, upcycled, or downcycled (Kreilis and Zeltins 2017;Esposito et al 2018;Minunno et al 2018;Tomic and Schneider 2018;Wong et al 2018;Cai and Waldmann 2019;Honic et al 2019;Hopkinson et al 2019;Migliore 2019;Williams 2019;Moreno-Juez et al 2020). Hopkinson et al (2019) concludes that to create a circular economy building system, it is required for the building system to employ both recovery and reuse of building components from end of life to stock replacement and maintenance (Hopkinson et al 2019).…”

“…This is now studied for various types of waste, from construction material (i.e., concrete) to scrap metal from household waste. Rigid plastics from packaging is a good example to show the current strategies in material-based recycling, but similar methods are developed for other materials [50,51].…”

Circularity in Practice: Review of Main Current Approaches and Strategic Propositions for an Efficient Circular Economy of Materials

This paper aims to summarize, propose, and discuss existing or emerging strategies to shift towards a circular economy of materials. To clarify the landscape of existing circular practices, a new spectrum is proposed, from product-based strategies, where entire products go through several life cycles without being reprocessed, to material-based approaches, extracting, recycling, and reprocessing materials from the waste flow. As refillable packaging does not lose any functionality or value, when re-used through many life cycles, product-based strategies are globally extremely efficient and must be promoted. It appears however that their implementation is only possible at the scale of individual products such as packaging containers, relying on the cooperation of involved companies and consumers. It appears more and more urgent to focus as well on a more systematic and flexible material-oriented scheme. The example of circular glass recycling is a success in many countries, and technologies become nowadays available to extend such practices to many other materials, such as rigid plastics. An ideal would be to aim at an economy of materials that would imitate the continuous material cycle of the biosphere. Technological and business strategies are presented and discussed, aiming at a relevant impact on circularity.

“…Industrial enterprises, service and resource providers, educational institutions, institutes, infrastructure organizations, and other participants can act as actors in industrial ecosystems implementing circular business models. For the most part, the composition of the participants depends on the underpinned circular business model [36][37][38][39][40].…”

An Assessment Approach to Circular Business Models within an Industrial Ecosystem for Sustainable Territorial Development

et al. 2022

In this work, the authors have made an attempt to develop a methodological approach to substantiate the socio-economic efficiency of enterprise performance within an industrial ecosystem in the context of a circular economy. The proposed approach has been verified via a case study of the industrial ecosystem in Novokuznetsk city. Based on the calculations, it has been evidenced that the creation of an industrial ecosystem in the region where the city is located would eliminate area sources of pollution and improve the quality of life of the population, which would advance regional sustainable development and strengthen territorial attractiveness for citizens. Thus, having used the proposed methodology, the prospects for the implementation of circular business models by enterprises in order to increase the efficiency of resource use and balanced and sustainable economic development of a territory have been substantiated. The transition to a circular economy can support the creation of favorable environmental conditions and increase the local community resilience, well-being, and quality of life.
