Circular Economy Principles for Achieving Net Zero in the Built Environment

We have been working with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation as its built environment partner since 2016, helping to promote the application of circular economy principles across the sector. We jointly developed the Circular Buildings Toolkit (CBT) to help designers, construction clients and asset owners to understand how to adopt this vastly more sustainable way of developing the built environment.
This short video explores four key circular economy principles related to the application of the Circular Buildings Toolkit. ‘Building only what you need’, ‘build with the right materials’, materials which are low-carbon and renewable; ‘build efficiently’ and cut waste across the supply chain; and ‘build for long-term value’, making sure that we plan for the building’s entire lifecycle and recyclability.

Nicely explained. Showing possibilities with real examples. It all begins with good leadership and initiative at the design stage. We can be deliberate in 'designing out' future waste from the onset of a project. Just as we design for the safe construction, use, and maintenance of buildings, we must also begin to design for their safe reuse to complete the resource loop. Although we can't entirely predict future spatial requirements, we can prepare for them with design strategies that promote flexible adaptation, resource loops, and a more circular economy.

This is a brilliant video to explain circularity in building industry

By incorporating this circular economy principle, the built environment can move closer to achieving Net Zero by reducing resource consumption, minimizing waste generation, and decreasing the carbon footprint of buildings and infrastructure.
