Abstract

This study analyzes contemporary innovative approaches and technologies aimed at reducing construction waste and promoting its recycling, while also exploring their implementation potential within a circular economy framework. The scientific novelty lies in the examination of innovative strategies enhancing construction waste management within the circular economy context, contributing significantly to understanding and utilizing such technologies. Additionally, the practical value of this work is underscored by its provision of actionable insights and global best practices in implementing innovative technologies for construction waste management.

The article delves into the significance and opportunities of utilizing innovative technologies within the context of a circular economy, addressing pertinent issues, expanding the understanding of circular economy concepts in construction, and offering practical examples and recommendations for implementation. The impact of circular economy principles on waste reduction and resource optimization in construction is thoroughly analyzed, with a focus on tools and technologies such as secondary resource utilization, 3D printing, Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence to enhance waste management processes, ensuring their sustainability and efficiency.

Furthermore, the article showcases successful innovative projects and initiatives globally while examining challenges and future prospects. It advocates for the active adoption of innovative technologies in construction and waste management to foster sustainable development and environmental preservation. By highlighting the intersection of cutting-edge technology and environmental sustainability, this study provides a comprehensive overview of how the construction industry can evolve to meet contemporary environmental challenges, ultimately contributing to a more sustainable and efficient construction sector.

The research emphasizes the critical role of integrating technological advancements with circular economy principles to address the mounting issue of construction waste. It explores how the adaptation of these advanced technologies can lead to substantial reductions in waste generation, improved resource efficiency, and the development of sustainable construction practices. The study also underscores the importance of policy support and stakeholder collaboration in facilitating the widespread adoption of these innovative solutions.

In conclusion, this article not only presents a detailed analysis of current trends and technologies in construction waste management but also offers a forward-looking perspective on the future of the industry. It serves as a call to action for policymakers, industry professionals, and researchers to embrace and invest in innovative technologies that align with the principles of the circular economy, ensuring a resilient and environmentally responsible construction sector for future generations.
