“…The literature offers a variety of methods to do this evaluation, most of which evaluate the environmental aspect of CE. Saidani et al (2022) mentioned that CE evaluation methods could be categorized in different scopes and scales. This means that these methods can evaluate the performances under the effects of circular approaches in macro, micro, or the meso level, for different study boundaries.…”

Among various industries, the construction sector has one of the greatest impacts on the environment. Minimizing the resource use and the waste outputs in this sector could be fulfilled by applying circular economy (CE) strategies. Although research on CE in the construction sector has increased in recent years, there have not been remarkable adjustments by applying these strategies to the construction industry. The purpose of this study was to examine the impacts of using CE strategies in the construction sector. A framework was adapted to guide the application of different CE strategies at the end-of-life of buildings. The framework was assessed by a case study of a residential building in mass timber. This study evaluated the application of CE strategies from the environmental aspect with the life cycle assessment (LCA) method. The results confirmed that circular strategies can deliver lower environmental impacts.

“…Finally, all keywords were used with only one combination of words, which likely limited the search results. Moreover, as contended by Saidani et al (2022), performing an LCA is frequently a complex and expert-level undertaking. Communicating the results also demands a certain level of expertise or support from environmental experts.…”

“…Europe has positioned itself as a leader in both the industrial and political spheres to drive global change. Moreover, according to Saidani et al (2022), elevating the degree of circularity within the economy enhances the chances of attaining the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) outlined by the United Nations (UN, 2015), especially in terms of responsible production and consumption (SDG 12). The need to promote such change arises from the evidence in the Global Resources Outlook 2019 (Oberle et al, 2019) that global annual resource extraction tripled from 1970 to 2017 and continues to rise.…”

Circularity has emerged as a pivotal concept in the realm of sustainable resource management and business operations. Resource exhaustion and environmental degradation propelled by globalization and the culture of consumerism have intensified the focus on the concept of the circular economy around the world. Nevertheless, the evaluation and quantification of circularity achievements remain uncommon in corporate practices. This article employs a systematic literature review to delve into circularity measurements in the managerial life cycle. Key approaches emerging from the academic literature are examined, including life cycle costing, life cycle assessment, life cycle cost–benefit, life cycle benefit analysis, and life cycle sustainability assessment. The review seeks to offer a comprehensive overview of the methodologies employed to assess circularity in corporate processes, highlighting current challenges and opportunities for effective implementation. We adopt a conceptual model of sustainable and circular life cycle management based on specific performance indicators that allow the environmental, social, and economic impact of processes to be assessed throughout the life cycle of products or services. The implementation of Sustainable and Circular Life Cycle Management from a managerial perspective could support firms to eradicate and quantify waste, preserve the inherent value of products and materials, encourage the adoption of renewable energies, and eliminate harmful chemicals.

ZusammenfassungIn diesem Übersichtsbeitrag berichten wir über die Grundlagen und den erreichten technischen Stand der Herstellung von grünem Wasserstoff durch Wasserelektrolyse. Für diese nachhaltige Produktion von Wasserstoff wird lediglich gereinigtes Wasser und erneuerbare elektrische Energie benötigt. Wegen der großen Stabilität des Wassermoleküls ist der Energiebedarf der Elektrolyse allerdings sehr hoch. Wir zeigen, dass es bereits drei technisch verfügbare Technologien (alkalische, PEM‐ und Hochtemperatur‐Elektrolyse) mit jeweils spezifischen Vor‐ und Nachteilen gibt. Zukünftige Entwicklungen konzentrieren sich auf die Senkung der Investitionen für Elektrolyseanlagen sowie auf die Verringerung der Verluste bei der Wasserspaltung, beispielsweise durch alkalische Membranelektrolyse mit einer eleganten Kombination der Eigenschaften von alkalischer und PEM‐Elektrolyse.
