Abstract

Reverse Logistics (RL) and Closed Loop Supply Chain (CLSC) are main concepts related to sustainable management of the Post End-of-Life (PEoL) of a building. Despite a number of literature reviews on RL and CLSC practices, drivers and barriers there is a clear deficiency of knowledge on the interrelationships among these concepts and connected approaches of managing PEoL of buildings. This research provides a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) on PEoL of buildings with the aim of exploring synergies among various concepts that are in place to handle that stage to achieve sustainability. To accomplish the aim,83 articles have been reviewed and subjected to thematic analysis. SLR elaborates the interrelationships between the main processes of PEoL, its impediments at the implementation and different approaches to overcome the impediments. The paper suggests a comprehensive approach to effectively manage the PEoL stage with the combination of information and effective management practices. The study recommends future research that includes best practices to plan PEoL of building during design, construction and maintenance stages, optimisation models for recovery planning, risk management of the entire PEoL stage and information-based approaches to planning and implementation of PEoL operations.
