Abstract
Circular economy (CE) is an emerging economic model based on the endless circulation flow of resources creating additional value. In temporary organizations such as construction projects, all administrative decisions are crucial for final success. One of the ideas is to enroll a circular economy manager (CEMR) and put him in an organizational structure. Implementation of the CE concept should be the effort of the entire project team. However, actions specific to the innovative nature of the procedures related to the CE in construction projects require additional support. It can be provided by professionals who can adapt a wide spectrum of knowledge to be used for promoting CE in the execution of construction processes. CEMRs can play the role of patrons of the CE issues because they support project managers in saving material resources in construction projects. The symmetry between visible outcomes of the CE idea and the employment of an extra manager has contributed to the development of the CEMR selection criteria model. However, effective recruitment for such a post may be a bit complicated for decision-makers, especially when CE is still enigmatic, as its procedures are quite undiscovered. All in all, the multi-criteria decision-making problem forces one to prepare the list of selection criteria and to rank them according to status in the hierarchy. This article shows prioritized criteria for selecting the CEMR based on the advanced literature review concluded after several expert-based reviews and calculated after some Monte Carlo simulations. The main purpose of this article is to help decision-makers in construction projects to perform a reliable recruitment process.
Highlights
Progressive urbanization of natural areas fosters biodiversity loss and climate changes
In the case of this research, the choice is among a group of candidates who are being considered for the circular economy manager (CEMR) post in construction projects
A brief overview of recent decision-making methods is useful, considering CEMR selection is about the decision of who will be responsible for circular economy issues in a construction project and if such a strategy will eventually be successful or not
Summary
Progressive urbanization of natural areas fosters biodiversity loss and climate changes. The rapid development of urban areas all over the world causes many serious environmental concerns, such as emissions, floods, etc. Growing knowledge about the economic growth paradigm [1]. A concept of the ecological perspective gets more and more popular and, for many, balanced development is the only way to get rid of this problem. Ecological practices play a significant role in the sustainable growth of nations in many countries. Sustainable production [5,6] can be described as an environmental protection strategy based on continuous, coordinated, preventive action with regard to processes aimed at increasing the efficiency of production and services as well as reducing the risk to people and the natural environment [7]
