Sustainable Logistics Management in the Construction Sector through Material Passports: A Literature Review

Abstract

Sustainability in the construction sector represents a major challenge due to the high consumption of resources and the generation of waste throughout the project life cycle. In this context, Material Passports (MPs) constitute a key tool for achieving circular economy models that enable efficient management of construction material information. The objective of this research is to analyze the role of MPs in sustainable logistics management within the sector by identifying their contributions, enabling technologies, and the main gaps and challenges. This article was developed using a systematic literature review methodology. The PRISMA model was adopted, and the Scopus and Web of Science databases were used. A total of 98 publications were initially identified, of which 23 were selected for analysis. The results show that MPs enhance material traceability, reuse, and recycling, and reduce information gaps among supply chain actors. It is also identified that technologies such as Building Information Modeling (BIM), Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), and blockchain are the main enablers of MPs. Finally, the large-scale implementation of MPs presents significant challenges, including data standardization, technological interoperability, and information updating.
