Abstract

Inthiseraofgloballackandinadequaciesofresourcesthereisneedto moveawayfromlinearapproach(alsoknownasthetake–make-use- disposemodel)meansthatmaterialsaresourced,usedandattheenddisposedaswaste.Thisapproachhasenduredovertimeduetothe abundanceofcheapnaturalresources.However,alternativemeansof sourcing and utilizing materials has become very vital due to growingworldpopulationanddifficulty/expensivenatureinaccessingresources.

With circular economy, resources usage can be optimized, consumption ofraw materials can be reduced, wastes can be recovered by giving it a secondlife as a new product or recycling. Since construction is a waste
