The Circular Built Environment Playbook aims at raising awareness of circular economy solutions and guiding all stakeholders of the building value chain to make sustainable and circular-based decisions.
It highlights how waste generation is becoming an increasing issue worldwide. In fact, building operations and material used in the construction of buildings account for around 37% of global CO2 emissions. Therefore, it is pivotal to focus on building materials and apply circular processes, along with continued energy efficiency measures and renewable energy.
