“…Based on logistics functional elements, smart logistics technologies can be classified into two types: transportation and warehousing. Regarding smart transportation technologies, Zhang and Atkins [72] developed a smart plasterboard waste management system using RFID technology to monitor the fleet and waste status. Cheng and Ma [73] developed a CDW recycling assessment system by using BIM that calculates CDW disposal charges as well as vehicle demand levels.…”

Implementing reverse logistics in the construction industry is considered a crucial method to achieve a circular economy. Despite a wealth of research focusing on improving reverse logistics systems, businesses still encounter challenges during the implementation process. Therefore, this study conducted a systematic literature review utilizing bibliometric methods to analyze 623 articles on reverse logistics in the construction industry published on Web of Science from 1995 to 2023. Additionally, a comprehensive review of 56 high-quality literature on obstacles to implementing reverse logistics in the construction industry and optimizing reverse supply chains was conducted. This review uncovered the current status and challenges of implementing reverse logistics in the construction industry and proposed potential solutions to address these issues. The main findings of this study include: (1) increasing academic interest in construction waste reverse logistics, with Chinese scholars leading the way and publications predominantly in environmental and construction journals, with limited coverage in logistics journals; (2) the primary obstacles to implementing reverse logistics in the construction industry lie in supply chain management, such as lacking deconstruction designs, incomplete recycling markets, difficulties in evaluating the quality of secondary materials, and insufficient supply chain integration; (3) proposing a framework for a construction industry reverse logistics supply chain ecosystem, aiming to establish a platform to facilitate online collection of construction waste, online transactions of secondary materials, end-to-end monitoring, and data analytics for consultation.

“…RFID tags are another data collection technology that can be employed to track CDW movement. Zhang proposed a framework that combined Rule-based Reasoning technology and RFID technology to track, schedule, and intelligently handle incidents of waste movement [ 119 ]. BIM is one of the space technology and data communication technologies commonly used in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industries, and can be effectively integrated with identification and data acquisition technologies (i.e., GIS, RFID, GPS).…”

In past decades, the massive generation of construction and demolition waste (CDW) was increasingly threatening the public environment and humanity health worldwide. A large amount of research has been devoted to the CDW from difference perspectives. However, few scholars have attempted to summarize and review the extant studies, especially in the managerial areas of CDW (MA-CDW). This paper fills this gap via a systematic and quantitative review in the CDW management field. Employing the scientometric analysis method, a total of 261 articles published from 2006 to 2018 were collected to construct the knowledge map and comprehensive framework for MA-CDW. Results show that the overall evolutionary trend of MA-CDW was from basic management concepts to internal and external challenges analysis, to organizational strategy and innovative management practices. The major MA-CDW knowledge domains were identified and summarized into four pillars, namely: (1) factor and challenge; (2) composition and quantification; (3) assessment and comparison; and (4) technology and method. Based on the trend, knowledge gaps and future research directions were found out and discussed. This study contributes to the existing MA-CDW knowledge by presenting a comprehensive knowledge framework. Furthermore, these findings can provide the researchers and practitioners with an in-depth understanding for the sustainable governance of CDW.

“…A couple of RFID readers equipped with cameras are installed in the job and disposal sites, and RFID tags are adhered to the windscreen of the trucks to control the correct movement of the waste material [ 37 ]. More recently, Zhang and Atkins [ 38 ] have presented a waste management system for construction based on RFID. In this work, RFID helps generate records about location, volume, weight and tracking of containers and vehicles, providing real-time decision support.…”

Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology has been widely used in the field of construction during the last two decades. Basically, RFID facilitates the control on a wide variety of processes in different stages of the lifecycle of a building, from its conception to its inhabitance. The main objective of this paper is to present a review of RFID applications in the construction industry, pointing out the existing developments, limitations and gaps. The paper presents the establishment of the RFID technology in four main stages of the lifecycle of a facility: planning and design, construction and commission and operation and maintenance. Concerning this last stage, an RFID application aiming to facilitate the identification of pieces of furniture in scanned inhabited environments is presented. Conclusions and future advances are presented at the end of the paper.
