circular economy, Timber waste management, Construction, Impact, sustainabilityAbstract
The construction industry significantly contributes to timber waste, posing various challenges. However, implementing effective waste management practices is complicated by the fast pace of construction and economic pressures that often prioritize cost and time over sustainability. The circular economy, by contrast, maintains the value of materials and products for extended periods, thereby minimizing raw material consumption, energy use and environmental consequences of resource extraction, emissions, and waste generation. This study reviews the implementation of circular economy principles for timber waste management in construction sites. This study conducted a systematic literature review using the Scopus database (2019–2024), analyzing research on circular economy, waste management, timber, wood, sustainable development, construction, and construction demolition waste. Further, a bibliometric analysis was conducted with VOSviewer software to identify key trends, followed by an in-depth analysis of the impacts of implementing circular economy principles in timber waste management to the environment, economic and social. The findings emphasize the potential of circular economy (CE) strategies, such as design for disassembly, recycling, and bio-energy recovery, to reduce timber waste and promote sustainability. Environmentally, these strategies lead to decreased greenhouse gas emissions and better resource conservation. Economically, they can result in cost savings, job creation, and innovation in sustainable construction practices. Socially, the circular economy fosters community engagement, improves public health, and encourages social inclusion. This review provides key insights for policymakers, researcher, and industry professional seeking to integrate circular economy (CE) strategies into timber waste management for more sustainable construction practices.
