Overview of categories used for the categorisation of drivers and barriers, based on the literature reviews of Munaro and Tavares (2023), Wuni (2022)
| Category used for analysis | Short description/examples |
|---|---|
| Culture | Entrenched ideas, customs and lifestyles, attitude of the construction industry and the stakeholders, such as risk aversion, resistance to change, lack of interest for or perceived poor quality of recycled and remanufactures products |
| Supply chain/collaboration/stakeholders | Interplay between organisations, stakeholders, (changing) activities, fragmentation and integration, cohesive FL+RL network and facilities, collaboration, cooperation, communication, information and resource sharing, data transparency/confidentiality, adequate network |
| Knowledge and learning | Skill gaps and knowledge deficits. Technical expertise and capabilities, knowledge on circular strategies, services, materials, awareness, training |
| Management: leadership, vision and ambitions | Vision and ambition forming and propagation, commitment and support |
| Management: steering, KPIs and monitoring | Administration and coordination tasks. Standard indicators and performance assessment, decision making support, evaluations |
| Tender/contract | Circular procurement and strategies, barriers to successful tenders such as number of suppliers |
| Organisational: Policy and tools | Policy making and evaluation, tooling such as administrative, monitoring, financial or digital tooling |
| Organisational: Process design | Standard processes, procedures or planning |
| Organisational: Costs/funding, financial and accounting | Funding challenges, resources, investment constraints, financial disincentives, new business models. Short vs long term economic benefits, higher costs sustainable alternatives, uncertain returns |
| Technical/operational | Technical know-how or complexity, scaling difficulties, operationalising known concepts/techniques |
| Technological, innovation | Appropriate access to enabling technology and tools, technological readiness, proven technology, information systems, innovation capacity, digital solutions |
| Regulatory (external) | (external) steering mechanisms. (external) Policies, legislations, regulatory framework, national goals or targets, taxes, institutional support, enforcement |
| Market/Economic/Value | Demand and supply forces. Competition or market pressure, uncertain demand or supply, immature market |
| Observations/Other |
