The construction industryConstruction industry, often labelled as one of the largest consumers and exploiters of natural resourcesResource, relies significantly on the environment for its raw materials. Construction activities significantly contribute to environmental pollution and degradation, impacting ecosystemsEcosystems from project inception to demolition. The critical environmental impactsEnvironmental impact of construction include resourceResource depletion and waste generation. This is due to the linear business model that still dominates the industry despite a shift from the approach to a sustainable approach by other industries, like manufacturing. The circularCircular economy (CE) is regarded as an alternative to the linear economyLinear economy, which aims to extend the life of construction resourcesResource and reverse the typical propensity to take, make, and dispose of. Through resourceResource-efficient design and usage, CE seeks to increase the lifespan of items and resourcesResource and eliminate waste. However, adopting CE in the construction industryConstruction industry requires a framework and model that conceptualises all CE principles to provide the roadmap for successful implementation. Hence, this book focuses on developing a CE business model to guide CE adoptionAdoption in construction organisationsConstruction organisations. However, this chapter introduces CE in the construction industryConstruction industry by highlighting the evolution of CE and providing details on the study’s context and the research problem. In addition, a basic overview of the study’s significance and objectives are discussed in this chapter.
