Correia, J M F; De Oliveira Neto, G C; Leite, R R and Da Silva, D (2021) Plan to overcome barriers to reverse logistics in construction and demolition waste: Survey of the construction industry. Journal of Construction Engineering and Management, 147(2): 04020172, ISSN 0733-9364
Abstract
The aim of this study was to identify the barriers to the adoption of reverse logistics (RL) and to develop action plans to mitigate them as a way to minimize the construction and demolition waste (CDW) produced by the large multinational construction industries (CI), considering the impact these barriers have on the global construction community. A systematic literature review was conducted to identify barriers and RL practices with regard to CDW. The parameters under question were validated by six experts, and a survey methodology was applied and evaluated using structural equation modeling. These findings contribute to the literature and organizational practice because understanding these barriers is necessary to address the barriers that negatively influence the implementation of RL in the CI.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
