Abstract

This chapter delves into the transformative potential of circular economy (CE) strategies for managing construction waste and optimizing resource use. It emphasizes the shift from linear to circular models, focusing on material reuse, recycling, modular construction, and adaptive design to minimize waste and enhance sustainability. The text also explores the role of digital technologies like BIM, blockchain, and AI in improving waste management and resource tracking. Additionally, it discusses the importance of policy frameworks, stakeholder collaboration, and the integration of renewable energy in construction waste management. The conclusion underscores the significant environmental, economic, and social benefits of adopting circular economy principles in the construction industry, positioning it as a leader in global sustainability efforts.
