| Abstract |
The circular economy is gaining attention in the marketplace due to the benefits it brings to prosperity while supporting sustainability. This strength is seen as a solution to the set of problems encountered by uneducated companies, organizations, and humans concerning the environment, the economy, health, and the quality of the community. Although much had been said about the trend upward in population growth globally, and the projected excessive consumption is not in line with reality, it's necessary to improve the results. Whereby companies must be one of the first to foster strategies to mitigate adversity. In this sense, this study aims to research what are the main circular economy strategies developed in the field of civil engineering. To this extent, a systematic review of the literature was developed, taking the papers published in the last 11 years. In the results, it was possible to find waste management and demolition as one of the most represented strategies by the authors, followed by the management of sustainable materials. The results are important for the industrial sector and researchers and professionals interested in the applicability of circular economy in the labor market. |
