A discussion on the reuse of building components in Brazil: An analysis of major social, economical and legal factors

“For example, according to Chileshe et al., (2018), da Rocha and Sattler (2009), Dunant et al. (2017), Gorgolewski et al. (2008), Klang et al. (2003) and MacKinnon (2000), the lower price of the reused components can contribute to the cost savings in the construction projects.”

“and increases the revenue from the resale of these components (Dantata et al., 2005; da Rocha and Sattler, 2009; Dunant et al., 2017; Klang et al., 2003; Sea-Lim et al., 2018)”

“which in the long run supports the growth of a reuse market (Chileshe et al., 2018; da Rocha and Sattler, 2009; Tingley et al., 2017)”

“However, according to a few articles, informality and good relationships among the stakeholders are reported to help overcome this challenge and promote reuse (Chileshe et al., 2016b; da Rocha and Sattler, 2009; Shaurette, 2006).”

“This factor, which is partially the outcome of the tight project schedules (Tatiya et al., 2017), results in the lack of sufficient supply of reused components with the desired characteristics (dimension, quality, etc.) (Brütting et al., 2019; da Rocha and Sattler, 2009; Dunant et al., 2017; Gorgolewski, 2008; Rose and Stegemann, 2018; Tingley et al., 2017).”

“Consequently, this practise may raise cash flow problems and increase the overall cost of the project due to additional storage costs, which is another barrier to the BCR (Chinda and Ammarapala, 2016; da Rocha and Sattler, 2009; Gorgolewski, 2008; Gorgolewski et al., 2008; Yeung et al., 2015 (among others)).”

“According to this study, in Brazil, the cost of deconstruction is lower than demolition due to the low cost of manual labour and the high demand for demolition products (da Rocha and Sattler, 2009).”

In the citing paper

“Damages to the reused building components can decrease the quality of the elements and affect their reusability (da Rocha and Sattler, 2009; Durão et al., 2014; Huuhka and Hakanen, 2015; Tatiya et al., 2017).”

In the citing paper

“The occupational health concerns (Klang et al., 2003, Rameezdeen et al., 2016), liability and fear (da Rocha and Sattler, 2009), lack of trust to the supplier of the reused components (Dunant et al., 2017, 2018) and unsatisfactory working environment during the treatment of the reused components (Klang et al., 2003) can all worsen the lack of interest to integrate the reused components in the proj”

“However, there are reports of illegal landfilling in reaction to the increased landfilling taxes (da Rocha and Sattler, 2009; Rameezdeen et al., 2016).”
