Circular Construction Connected

Circue addresses climate change and resource depletion on a societal level by developing and scaling the circular construction sector on market terms.

 

In recent years, innovation in circular construction and small-scale experiments have provided us with a realistic view of a more circular future within the construction sector. However, it is still more efficient, cheaper and faster to build using a traditional linear approach, which is a major systemic challenge for the circular transition. That’s why we’ve launched the Circue project. 

 

We want to create an integrated, scalable and cost-effective circular value chain able to compete with the linear construction practice on market terms by solving the existing research and market challenges. 

We’re launching a digital platform, which aims to become the circular construction sector’s main collaboration hub – from design to demolition. Our aim is to contribute with a building & material bank, a stock exchange for circular materials, and circular decision support. We collaborate with all other stakeholders in the value chain, in order to create a seamless workflow for circular construction. 

The Circue Goals
    • Quantify the environmental & social value related to circular economy within the construction sector.
    • Create a decision support tool to guide building owners through circular choices.
    • Push for refurbishing and transformation of existing buildings rather than demolition.
    • Make design of new buildings with secondary building materials and components (SBMC) more efficient through coherent value chains.
    • Support a transparent and steady supply of SBMC.
    • Address uncertainties related to technical & environmental quality of SBMC
    • Launch a digital platform as the circular construction sector’s main collaboration hub – from design to demolition.
