“…This study applied a qualitative research approach [41], and the chosen specific method was a questionnaire survey [42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50], which was applied as an online survey that was sent via email directly to respondents. This study is important because it addresses a gap in the research and contributes to an enhanced understanding of CE development in the wood construction sector as perceived by both design-oriented and construction-oriented experts.…”

Circular economy development is about a system level change towards enhanced sustainability and circularity covering both biological and technical cycles. This study aimed at exploring, identifying, analyzing and synthesizing the current state of and future outlook on CE development in the wood construction sector in Finland as perceived by various sectoral companies. This study focused on multiple themes related to the importance of the various aspects of a CE and associated approaches in this particular sector. This study applied a qualitative research approach, and a questionnaire survey was the specific method. The survey was sent to both architectural and construction sector companies. This study addressed a gap in research and contributes to the better understanding of the current state of and future outlook on CE development in the wood construction sector. The results indicate that the CE concept is mostly considered to be an important part of building design and construction. However, some respondents found that this concept is new to them. Interestingly, the cascading use of wood and the assessment and measurement of a CE were not at all familiar to many respondents. Particularly important CE aspects in the wood construction sector include, for example, sustainability and the long life cycles of products, components and materials; co-creation and cooperation covering the whole life cycle of construction and the whole supply chain; training and competence development; and design for a CE, sustainability and long life cycles. Many essential elements of a CE were in use, coming into use or in consideration by many of the sectoral companies.

“…It is important to manage the CE aspects of supply chain management and to address major barriers to CE such as profitability and lack of information [36]. The development of CE requires a focus on both sustainability and the long lifespan of products, components and materials [35]. Specific solutions could also encompass the combination of resource-effective (extension of product and material life) and resource-efficiency (focus on prevention) strategies [68].…”

“…The best approaches to promote CE encompass the use of sustainable and renewable raw materials; consumer awareness; and the design, use and manufacturing of sustainable, recyclable, reusable and repairable products, components and materials [34]. Important drivers and opportunities associated with CE development encompass totally new products and services as well as the availability of sustainable, long-lasting and fixable products [35]. Therefore, it is important to advance the design and development of CE and sustainabilityoriented products, components and materials [34].…”

“…Important approaches to advance CE encompass, for example, cooperation between all parties associated with the entire life cycle of activities [34]. It is also important to consider the sustainability of products as early as possible in the design phase considering life cycle thinking [35]. In general, product-based approaches, local industrial symbiosis and climate change have received little focus in companies [37].…”

In general, circular economy development is about a system-level change towards significantly enhanced circularity and sustainability encompassing both biological and technical cycles. This study aimed at exploring, identifying, analyzing and synthesizing how companies in the Kymenlaakso region perceive circular economy management, assessment and reporting. This study applied a qualitative research approach using a questionnaire survey as the specific method. The responding companies are of many sizes and represent multiple sectors such as industry, construction and various services. This study addressed a clear gap in research on company-level perspectives. The results indicate that recycling and recovery of materials are perceived as particularly important by companies. In addition, the principles of CE (10Rs) are considered to be important by most companies. Essential management approaches encompass, for example, CE strategy and goals, business ecosystems and development of markets for recycled and recovered products and parts. Companies considered that recycling, recovery, waste minimization and utilization of waste as a raw material, as well as an increase in recycled content in products, reduction in disposable products and prevention of premature obsolescence, are important CE assessment and measurement approaches. For example, continuous reporting of CE as a part of online communication of companies (i.a. sustainability and responsibility), the definition of best practices and best available techniques for CE, and reporting in the whole supply and value chain were perceived as important ways to report CE. However, it is noteworthy that many of the studied aspects of CE were not perceived to be important by companies. Overall, this study contributes to a better understanding of the current state of and future outlook on circular economy development in the studied region and also highlights relevant management, assessment and reporting aspects from the perspective of local companies.

Ohjeet ja käytännöt lähdeviitteiden merkitsemisestä vaihtelevat oppilaitoksittain. Omien käytäntöjen sijaan tulisi suosia kansainvälisiä standardeja ja ammattimaisia viitteidenhallintaohjelmia. Erityisen kiusallinen on kumottuun kansalliseen standardiin perustuva käytäntö pisteen käytöstä lähdeviitesulkeiden sisällä, jota viitteidenhallintatyökalut eivät tue eivätkä tunnista.
