Circular Economy in Africa: Towards a Model for Affordability in Housing Including the Craftsmanship of Components, Involving Reusing, and Re-Purposing
This paper presents an ethical view of the topic of Circular Economy in Africa, focusing on Kenya, building industry. It describes the research project that is towards the affordability in Housing, including the craftsmanship of components involving Reusing and Re-purposing, then describes the aspects of ethics associated with the research project including: Culture and Heritage, Risk and Harm, Minimal Risk, Conflict of Interest, Responsibility, Consent, Design Ethics, and Technology Assessment. This is aimed at providing an understanding of the modalities and moralities necessary for the successful implementation of the Circular Economy in an African building industry context. It is, however, given that ethics deals with values, with good and bad, with the right and wrong or moral behaviour of human relationships. It is also concerned with what is morally good and bad and morally right and wrong. The term is also applied to any system or moral values or principles theory. Ethics in this case strives for honesty in the implementation of circularity in the Kenyan building industry. The subsequent chapters of this paper present literature reviews, opinions, assessments, reports, writing, and evaluation on this topic.
