Overview

Randomized trial explores enablers and barriers to circular economy integration in Nigeria's construction sector, suggesting key entry points.

Key Points

  • The aim is to examine enablers and barriers to circular economy integration in Nigeria's construction industry.
  • Conducted a questionnaire survey with 386 usable responses from construction professionals and stakeholders in Nigeria.
  • Utilized structural equation modelling (SEM) to analyze relationships among eight latent constructs.
  • Examined relationships involving stakeholder awareness, technological readiness, and implementation of circular economy practices.
  • Stakeholder Awareness and Engagement and Technological Readiness had statistically significant but weak positive relationships with CE Awareness and Implementation Intention.
  • CE Awareness and Implementation Intention showed a small positive relationship with Implementation of CE Practices.
  • The model explained 11.3% of the variance in CE Awareness and 19.7% in Implementation of CE Practices, indicating low explanatory power.
