Gestão de resíduos da construção civil: panorama da produção científica no Brasil sob a ótica da economia circular

Abstract

Currently, the growing volume of solid waste has been a global problem. Civil construction has become increasingly concerned with implementing management systems that aim to reduce, recycle or reuse solid waste generated during its production process. In order to bring a discussion about the application of the circular economy in the management of solid waste from civil construction, a bibliometric and scientometric analysis was carried out, using as references, studies published from 2010 until November 2023. It was possible to notice that the Brazil stands out in studies on circular alternatives in waste management, whether through the use of alternative materials or the implementation of technologies such as IoT in this process. The main center of studies on the subject is the southeast region of the country, with the University of São Paulo standing out in the number of publications carried out, the main tools used are the assessment of the life cycle of waste, the implementation of reverse systems and the implementation of lean systems. However, the lack of professionals who know these systems, the high initial cost and the deficiency in the dissemination of regulations, become barriers that make the transition from a linear to a circular system difficult.
