The New Circularity Index scheme is a verification framework.
It is designed to measure and certify the circularity performance of products throughout their lifecycle. It assesses materials, energy, water and waste, evaluating the share of circular materials, renewable energy, recycled water and waste sent for recycling compared with the total resources used in production.
This comprehensive toolkit assists countries with assessing circularity within their building sectors.
It provides quantitative and qualitative assessments through a set of indicators and a structured questionnaire, helping to identify gaps and priorities for improving circular material and waste flows, reducing environmental impacts and enhancing economic and social benefits.
French regulations on the circular economy in the construction sector have evolved significantly in recent years. INEC and Altes Avocats have produced an accessible guide to help stakeholders apply those regulations and share best practices.
