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

Every year, insurance claims on building damages in Europe drive billions in material procurement. Today, the industry default in handling these claims is to use virgin materials and new components for repairs. These guidelines make the case for a different approach, a circular 'like-for-like' substitution model in insurance.

Developed by Circue and ReThink Strategy with support from industry stakeholders, the Re:Claim Industry Guidelines provide a practical starting point for insurers, business developers, and circular economy specialists investigating like-for-like models.

In this publication we share Circular Buildings Coalition’s journey growing the supply and demand for circular solutions. Sharing the key challenges and insights we have learned along the way. This publication is relevant to anyone who is innovating circular solutions for the built environment be it from products to insurance or to new collaborations, or something entirely different.

Thank you to all the Circular Buildings Coalition partners for their contribution to the coalition and to this publication. Thank you to the Laudes Foundation for their support. Finally thank you to all the Blueprint Projects, not only for their exceptional work on their individual solutions, but also for sharing it with us in this publication.
