Research abstract:The world steel demand and production are constantly growing parallelly to the world economic<br/>growth. Even though steel is fully recyclable, there is still a vast amount of virgin production which put<br/>tremendous pressure on the natural scarcity of natural resources. Steel recycling only mitigates the<br/>impacts since...

Like Industrial Ecology research makes use of the analogy between closed-loop systems in nature and material flows in the economy, business ecosystem literature uses the analogy of ecosystems to explain cross-industry cooperative behavior. Regarding the Circular Economy transition, a circular business ecosystem can be defined as ‘a set of actors...

The demolition activities produce a huge amount of waste that have negative effects on the environment. In the current demolition practices, most of the waste are recycled or landfilled. Only a small percentage is retrieved and reused again. Reuse is preferred than recycling since it better for the environment. To increase the reuse, more...

Circular building has been increasing in popularity over several years. The idea being that we should not use resources only once and then discard them, but continue using them in new products. The construction industry has responded to this by designing 'circular' buildings that can be disassembled at the end of their functional life. This...

Urban Transplant is a tool for post-capitalist architecture. The circular approach, supported by in-depth research into reuse of in-situ structural concrete as components, offers transformation methods in the built environment. A dual site in Brussels, the World Trade Center and a post-industrial terrain, provides a proof of concept for the idea...

On the real estate market, there will always be a demand for newly constructed real estate. Demand and supply are never quite in balance, meaning that the construction of new real estate will always exist. However, looking for opportunities to satisfy the demand with the existing building stock is often forgotten or neglected. 87% of the needed...

By increasing the life-span of building products, the Reuse strategy has potential to reduce CO2 emission in the construction industry but it is observed that not many building products are reused because it is not economical. The government aims to overcome this issue by encouraging the development of reuse markets but it is not yet clear for...

Building construction is a material-intensive process known for depleting natural resources, mainly gravel and sand, used in concrete production. At the same time, building demolition generates large amounts of construction and demolition waste (CDW), primarily consisting of end-of-life (EOL) concrete, a significant waste flow occurring in...

In the Netherlands, yearly 33 Mton new concrete (roughly 15 billion m3) is producewhile 12 Mton concrete waste becomes available. Recycling of the yearly 12 Mton concrete waste results in roughly 7 Mton coarse recycled concrete aggregate (CRCA) and 5 Mton fine recycled concrete aggregates (fRCA). Currently, fRCA is not used in structural...
