About

Genesis Camila Cervantes Puma is a rising voice in sustainable construction, dedicated to transforming how the built environment interacts with our planet. Her research centers on the critical intersection of circular economy (CE) principles and building materials, aiming to drastically reduce the construction industry's immense environmental footprint. In her highly cited 2024 review, "Circular Material Usage Strategies and Principles in Buildings," which has already garnered 48 citations, she systematically analyzes strategies to curb greenhouse gas emissions, raw material extraction, and waste production. This work provides a crucial roadmap for an industry struggling with slow adoption of sustainable practices. Building on this foundation, her companion piece, "Circular Material Usage Strategies—Principles," delves deeper into the specific barriers hindering implementation. By synthesizing complex, interdisciplinary knowledge, Cervantes Puma is not only identifying the path forward but also equipping practitioners and policymakers with the clear, actionable frameworks needed to accelerate the shift toward a truly circular, low-impact construction sector. Her work is essential reading for anyone committed to building a more sustainable future.
