The current research presents principles of circularity of household-generated waste based on a systematic literature review, and the data obtained from a survey were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. This study clarifies the circular economy rationale for construction and demolition waste (CDW) management in Latvia and proposes further development to promote the achievement of sustainable development goals and increased energy efficiency. The results reveal that the observance of circular economy principles in construction and demolition waste management among Latvian households does not correspond to good circular economy practices due to attitudes toward environmental issues, expenses, and logistics; thus, compliance with these principles and legislation as well as closer cooperation between municipalities and households can promote significant economic benefits.2473691enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessawarenesscircularityconstruction and demolition wasteenergyexpenseshouseholdswaste management2.2 Electrical engineering, Electronic engineering, Information engineering2.11 Other engineering and technologies1.1.
