- Abstract
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, developers-contractors, 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.
