The Circular Economy (CE) concept has recently gained momentum as a perspective to tackle global challenges such as resource scarcity and waste management. Multiple types of interventions have been proposed to support the transition towards a CE. This paper aims to (i) categorize CE interventions; (ii) analyze to what extent these intervention categories are considered when assessing CE interventions in a specific sector (Construction and Demolition; C&D); (iii) suggest indicators for the improvement of CE assessment tools in the context of a CE transition in the C&D sector. Through a literature review and expert interviews, we developed a systemic framework that categorizes CE interventions into four groups: Research and Realize, Implement, Support, and Enable, each considering the so-called 10R-strategies established in the CE field. To understand the relevance of these intervention categories in the C&D sector, we analyzed nine indicator sets (252 indicators) used for assessing circular interventions. The results show that the category of implementation of the R-strategies receives the greatest attention. However, though marginally, some assessments also consider those significant interventions that were categorized as Research and Realize, Enable, and Support. We argue that future assessments should incorporate these interventions, to encourage a systemic approach towards a CE transition. Independently from the sector analyzed, the framework can support actors involved in a CE transition, linking their contributions to the different categories of interventions and R-strategies, with a satisfactory balance of complexity and ease of application.

循环经济干预分类的系统框架:在建筑和拆除部门的应用

循环经济 (CE) 概念最近作为应对资源稀缺和废物管理等全球挑战的视角获得了动力。已经提出了多种类型的干预措施来支持向 CE 的过渡。本文旨在 (i) 对 CE 干预进行分类;(ii) 在评估特定部门(建筑和拆除;C&D)的 CE 干预时,分析在多大程度上考虑了这些干预类别;(iii) 在 C&D 部门 CE 转型的背景下,提出改进 CE 评估工具的指标。通过文献回顾和专家访谈,我们开发了一个系统框架,将 CE 干预分为四组:研究和实现、实施、支持和启用,每组都考虑了在 CE 领域建立的所谓 10R 策略。为了了解这些干预类别在 C&D 部门中的相关性,我们分析了用于评估循环干预的九个指标集(252 个指标)。结果表明,R策略的实施类别受到最大的关注。然而,一些评估也考虑了那些被归类为研究和实现、启用和支持的重要干预措施,尽管这些干预措施的影响很小。我们认为,未来的评估应纳入这些干预措施,以鼓励对 CE 过渡采取系统方法。独立于所分析的部门,该框架可以支持参与 CE 转型的参与者,将他们的贡献与不同类别的干预措施和 R 战略联系起来,并在复杂性和易用性之间取得令人满意的平衡。
