Together we are leading the way to a circular built environment.

The construction sector in the EU is a major contributor to carbon emissions and waste generation, with unsustainable practices pushing the sector past critical global warming limits. However, applying circular economy principles through a 'Circular Building Scenario' alongside industry decarbonisation has the potential to significantly reduce the sector's CO2e emissions by 4.15 Gt, keeping the 2°C global warming scenario within reach, and reducing material consumption by 6.7 Gt between 2024-2050.

The Building Circular Hotspots tool, serves as a shared platform highlighting inspiring examples of circular economy practices within the built environment. Explore our database to discover relevant cases spanning products, buildings, policies, and business models.
