Abstract

This study aims to investigate to what extent the construction and demolition waste generated by households is managed by the principles of circularity and to identify the main influencing factors in the behavior of households regarding the circularity-based management of construction waste in Latvia. The current research presents principles of circularity of household-generated waste based on a systematic literature review, and the data obtained from a survey were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. This study clarifies the circular economy rationale for construction and demolition waste (CDW) management in Latvia and proposes further development to promote the achievement of sustainable development goals and increased energy efficiency. The results reveal that the observance of circular economy principles in construction and demolition waste management among Latvian households does not correspond to good circular economy practices due to attitudes toward environmental issues, expenses, and logistics; thus, compliance with these principles and legislation as well as closer cooperation between municipalities and households can promote significant economic benefits.

家庭产生的建筑和拆除垃圾的管理：循环原则与拉脱维亚居民的态度

本研究旨在调查拉脱维亚家庭产生的建筑和拆除废物在多大程度上是按照循环原则进行管理的，并找出影响家庭基于循环原则管理建筑废物行为的主要因素。目前的研究在系统文献综述的基础上提出了家庭产生的废物的循环性原则，并使用描述性和推论性统计对调查获得的数据进行了分析。本研究阐明了拉脱维亚建筑和拆除废物（CDW）管理的循环经济原理，并提出了进一步发展的建议，以促进实现可持续发展目标和提高能源效率。研究结果表明，由于对环境问题、费用和物流的态度不同，拉脱维亚家庭在建筑和拆除废物管理中对循环经济原则的遵守情况与良好的循环经济实践并不相符；因此，遵守这些原则和立法以及市政当局和家庭之间更紧密的合作可以促进显著的经济效益。
