The European-funded Circular Biobased Construction Industry (CBCI) project investigates how we can use raw materials in construction more efficiently, thereby reducing CO2 emissions. Not only in the construction phase, but throughout the entire life cycle of a building. For the transition to a circular economy, an integral approach to circular and biobased construction has been
The project ‘CIRCULAR FOAM – Systemic expansion of territorial CIRCULAR Ecosystems for end-of-life FOAM’ will develop and demonstrate all technological steps required to achieve circularity of plastics in post-consumer applications, using the example of rigid PU foams used as insulation in refrigerators and construction, see link.
Pop-Machina is a Horizon 2020 project that seeks to highlight and reinforce the links between the maker movement and circular economy in order to promote environmental sustainability and generate socio-economic benefits in European cities, see link
Metabolic and SGS Search produced an excellent document entitled ‘Roadmap for Circular Land Tendering, which provides guidance on steps that can be taken to stimulate, measure and reward circular building practices and innovation. With this Roadmap, Amsterdam is the first city in the world to develop an instrument for embedding the principles of circular construction
