Sustainability Through Reuse of Materials and Components in Buildings: An Indonesian Perspective
Open accessAbstract
Reuse of materials/ components plays a more significant role than recycling because it reduces raw materials and embodied energy at the beginning of construction and minimizes construction waste at the end of the building's life.It is also an embodiment of circular economy in architecture.Although the social, economic, and environmental benefits of reusing materials and components are well established, field practices still need to be established.Few buildings in Indonesia utilize reused materials and components.This study aims to identify public perceptions on the application of materials and components reuse in buildings.Data were collected from the three target research respondents: architects, developerscontractors, and the general public using online questionnaires.The study discovered the potential for reused materials/components in buildings in Indonesia, where there is a high interest in reusing materials/components.The community has also recognized the significance of reuse and its positive environmental impact.Furthermore, there is a favorable opinion of the aesthetic appearance, costs, quality, health risks, and safety of reused materials/components. Barriers in terms of availability, maintenance, and durability require extra attention.Several solutions have also been proposed to increase the application of reused materials/components in buildings.

Stakeholders in Indonesia still doubt the durability and maintainability of reusable building elements.
“many stakeholders (Architects, Builders, Engineers, Contractors, etc) in the context of Indonesia still doubt the durability and maintainability of reusable building elements (Citraningrum et al., 2023).”

Maintainability is vital in the new life of reusable building components/materials and requires extra attention.
“It's important to note that maintainability is vital in the new life of reusable building components/ materials (Rahla et al., 2021), therefore requires extra attention (Citraningrum et al., 2023)”

Reusing building components/materials has lower environmental impacts than recycling because it requires lower processing, and it improves solid waste management enabling healthier cities.
“There are lower environmental impacts when reusing building components/ materials compared to recycling because there is lower processing required, these actions would also improve solid waste management enabling healthier cities (Citraningrum et al., 2023).”

In Indonesia, respondents are skeptical about using recovered materials from demolition or construction waste, particularly their durability.
“As revealed by a poll of respondents by (Citraningrum et al., 2023) in Indonesia there is skepticism about using recovered materials from demolition or construction wastes, particularly the durability of these recovered products”

Prior literature did not emphasize how to quantify the longevity of selected building materials and components.
“No specific emphasis on how to quantify the longevity of selected building materials and components.(Citraningrum et al., 2023)”
From The Uncertainty of Reusable Building Components/Materials A Subsidiary of Circular Economy in the Africa Construction Sector: The Issue of Affordable Housing in Kenya (2024) · cites this paper as Citraningrum et al., 2023
Section 3.3 discusses respondents’ doubts about the durability of reused materials, and the comparison table records opinions about whether they last longer or shorter than new materials. Neither passage addresses whether prior literature emphasized methods for quantifying the longevity of selected materials and components. Searches for longevity quantification and service-life measurement found no such statement in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.70)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
