“…The sensibilization and the mobilization of the population on the management of waste and human activities for the respect of the environment (Weraman et al., 2022) and the creation of a specialized structure in charge of the collection and treatment of solid waste are necessary to protect the health of the population (Khan et al., 2022; Soni, Das, Hashmi, et al., 2022; Soni, Das, & Kumar, 2022). The most effective way to reduce waste is to produce less of it.…”

Due to population growth, the generation of solid waste in Morocco constantly increases, considerably impacting water, soil, and air. To minimize this impact, proper waste management is necessary. This research examines waste generation development in Rabat, Sale, and Temara cities in 2015, 2018, and 2019. This allows us to propose solutions to environmental problems and to discuss upstream and downstream management modalities. According to this study, the total amount of waste in Sale changes between 17,947.6 t/month, 21,256.6 t/month, and 20,852 t/month, whereas it ranges between 25,017.6 t/month, 24,031.7 t/month, and 24,038.1 t/month for Rabat in 2015, 2018, and 2019. The lowest quantities are 12,901.3 t/month, 10,104.3 t/month, and 1032.5 t/month in Temara for 2015, 2018, and 2019. The data obtained will serve as an aid to decision‐making to guide proper management. Moreover, sensitizing the population on the issue of waste management is necessary to protect the environment and human health.

“…Like many SSA cities, in West Africa, municipalities have seen an exponential increase in MSW generation (Godfrey et al, 2019;Soni, Das, & Kumar, 2023) in recent decades as a result of rapid urbanisation, population growth, and shifting consumption habits (Achankeng, 2003;Zorpas, 2020). West African cities' average daily garbage output per capita fluctuates from 0.39 to 1.92 kg (Ogwueleka, 2013).…”

This study evaluates the environmental impact of municipal solid waste management recycling probability in Greater Monrovia, using the Driver-Pressure-State-Impact-Response (DPSIR) framework and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). Greater Monrovia generates approximately 236155 tons of recyclable waste annually, comprising biodegradable, plastics, paper, inert materials, and assorted waste. Inadequate infrastructure causes less waste collection, and most are openly dumped or burned, triggering severe environmental pollution. The LCA examines key impact categories, including global warming potential (GWP), water pollution, resource depletion, and human health impacts across four waste management scenarios. Scenario one (Landfill) identified significant emissions, contributing to global warming (194.86 kg CO2 eq), marine aquatic ecotoxicity (MAE) (2259578 kg 14-DB eq), and human toxicity (172.59 kg 14-DB eq). Scenario two (Anaerobic Digestion) illustrates lower impacts on human toxicity (237.83 kg 14-DB eq) and freshwater aquatic ecotoxicity (86.99 kg 14-DB eq), with moderate GWP (415.51 kg CO2 eq). In Scenario three, (Open Burning) results are the highest GWP (444.03 kg CO2 eq) and MAE (1426606.7 kg 14-DB eq), indicating substantial environmental and health risks. Scenario Four, a combined approach integrating landfill, anaerobic digestion, and open burning, optimizes the strengths and mitigates the weaknesses of each scenario, offering a balanced approach with reduced impacts across multiple categories. Findings indicate Scenario Two has a relatively moderate environmental impact. Assumed as the most preferred scenario based on the waste management option due to low environmental effects, thereby recommended as the appropriate technology for the MSW recycling process in Greater Monrovia, ultimately reducing environmental impacts and improving resource recovery.

“…In spite of sustainable transitions in other sectors, the construction sector favours the linear model. Consequently, implementing waste hierarchy systems (Rasmussen et al, 2018) or alternative approaches to enhance material efficiency (Chen et al, 2010) and waste management (Soni et al, 2022) are imperative to curb GHG emissions. Warodell and Lindholm (2016) highlighted the need for an environmentally sustainable development strategy, leading to the emergence of circular economy (CE) models focused on resource conservation and waste elimination in design.…”

Purpose The circular economy business models (CEBMs) provide ways for firms operating in the construction industry to move from a linear to a circular approach. Thus, this study aims to explore CEBM research within the construction sector to show the focus area of studies, highlighting new areas that require attention. Design/methodology/approach This study adopted a bibliometric approach, using the Scopus database as the data source. The keywords used for paper extraction from the database were “circular economy business” OR “circular business” AND “model” OR “models” AND “construction industry” OR “building industry”. The VOSviewer software was then used to prepare a co-occurrence and co-authorship map based on the bibliographic data gathered. Findings The study’s findings reveal five research clusters in the construction industry. These clusters include circular construction intelligence, modular business modelling, eco-construction, sustainable construction economics and smart energy-efficient buildings. The two most cited scholars had two publications each, while the top journals are the Journal of Cleaner Production and Sustainable Production and Consumption. This study concludes that there is a need for research within the construction sector to focus on CEBMs’ archetypes and frameworks. This will enable a smooth transition from linear to circular business models in the sector. Research limitations/implications The information was gathered from a single database, Scopus; hence, using other databases, including Web of Science, Google Scholar and Dimensions, might produce more articles for examination and, consequently, different findings on the subject under investigation. Practical implications These findings would assist researchers in considering the areas mentioned, which are yet to receive attention, and, by extension, enhance economic development while maintaining environmental sustainability. Originality/value This paper made a significant contribution to the body of knowledge by identifying scholars and platforms that have been instrumental in advancing CEBM research and highlighting new areas that require attention in the construction sector.
