Abstract
In the last few years Circular Economy (CE) is receiving increasing attention worldwide as a way to overcome the current production and consumption model based on continuous growth and increasing resource throughput. The concept of the CE is increasingly seen as a major policy agenda item and a testing challenge, for the construction sector. Nowadays, an omnipresent problem of resource scarcity and a need for reduction of waste generation make a discussion about eco-friendly production models more serious than ever before. Construction sector is one of the world’s largest waste generators. Fortunately, the Circular Economy can help to diminish an environmental impact of the construction sector. The paper provides an overview of the literature on Circular Economy theoretical approaches, strategies and implementation cases, in construction sector. Finally, the suggestions for future development are also discussed in this paper.
