ASSESSMENT OF CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND REDUCTION OF EMBODIED CARBON DRIVE FOR SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION

According to United Nations Environment Program 2020, construction industry uses almost 35 % of global energyand is responsible for 38 % of greenhouse gas emissions. Buildings areoe of the largest end-use sector and their contributioncontinues to be a source of that energy demand in the future. In this paper, a brief overview of assessment of circular economy and reduction of embodied carbon drive for sustainable construction is explained. The aim of the study is to analyze circular economy principal in construction industry for sustainable development. A brief introduction about circular economy (CE), need of study, problem statement, aim of study, and objectives of project are discussed in the paper.Theuse of timber as a structural element is slightly promoted concrete, minimize carbon footprints produced by use of steel and concrete.Majority of the buildings hasa mixture of compounds which are very difficult to filter/ separate, it makes the material reuse/ recycling process less easy, so new technologies to be used for separation of used building materials needs to be focused on.
