Circular construction

The construction sector holds one of the greatest potentials for a circular transition. The sector represents an enormous potential for reducing waste and increasing recycling and reuse. A building can be designed for circularity if it is designed to be easily decommissioned, e.g. using principles of modularity and design-for-disassembly to enable higher reuse of the building materials.

Circular business models

By addressing product life extension, reuse and the recycling of waste, circular business models can re-duce consumption and minimise waste generation. They allow products to be continuously used, reused, sold as a service, and enable the sharing of products, rather than incentivizing a one-time purchase. A commonality and driving forces are data collection, digital tools, and design.
