TLDR
Re reuse benefits depended on aggressive reuse rates (>70%) and multiple reuses of steel were needed to offset the embodied environmental impacts during steel production, and the analyses showed that process-based LCA and hybrid LCA can generate conflicting results in a C2C LCA.About:

Circular Economy on Construction and Demolition Waste: A Literature Review on Material Recovery and Production
TL;DR: This paper discusses circular economy frameworks—specifically material recovery and production highlighting the reuse and recycling of CDW and reprocessing into new construction applications and its feasibility is discussed to possibly prove the effectivity of CE in reducing CDW.

Exploring environmental benefits of reuse and recycle practices: A circular economy case study of a modular building
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the environmental benefits of a prototype and purpose-built, modular building designed for disassembly and reuse through a life cycle assessment of its components and compared the results with the results of a contemporary construction approach with a focus on the recyclability of materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Embodied energy and embodied carbon of structural building materials: Worldwide progress and barriers through literature map analysis
TL;DR: A systematic analysis evidences the lack of standardization and disagreement regarding the assessment of coefficients, database source, and boundary system used in the methodology assessment in embodied energy and embodied carbon assessments.
