**2. Impact of construction waste on the economy**

While the circular economy is gaining more and more attention, mining and primary commodity prices continue to rise. The circular economy estimates that 9% of all raw materials have been fully recycled in 2019. In 2018, the proportion was slightly higher at 9.1% [18]. Theoretically, 100% of the raw materials in the circular economy are fully recycled and no new raw materials are needed. The implementation of this scenario will take a very long time, as methods must be found to completely recycle the materials currently used in the products. Circular economy and sustainability go hand in hand. This is clearly illustrated in **Figure 5** in which circular economy contributions include: strategic planning (SP), cost management (CM), circular supply chain management (CSCM), quality management (QM), environment management (EM), process management (PM), logistic and reverse logistic (L&RL), service management (SM), and research and development (R&D).
