Scope

Due to rising demand and shrinking supply, the built environment and its raw material suppliers must align with regenerative cycles. This thesis aims to create a circular procurement framework to determine and preserve building asset value at end-of-life, establishing transparent, measurable standards that reduce waste and optimise resources.

It creates a transparent and measurable standard for the circular procurement process, reducing waste and optimising resource use. The thesis focuses on four major deliverables: a database of site and inventory inspections, an exit scenario and resource recovery plan, a partial deconstruction plan, and an online marketplace for resource trading.

The framework uses existing tools and indicators to establish the circular procurement process.
