This report makes a solid business case for building circular, exploring five enabling strategies which showcase how built environment players can unlock robust, long-term value by embracing the circular economy.

Specifically, it examines five different circular strategies, buildings and building components, predominantly from an asset owners’ perspective, and has sought to understand the associated value that these strategies provide.

Value needs to be considered holistically across the supply chain. Understanding the business case for building circular means considering the value - current and future - of all its different elements and layers, and input from all the stakeholders involved.

The ECESP is organising the second Circular Economy Days at the World Expo 2025.

The World Expo is a great opportunity to meet and experience the best the world has to offer in terms of innovation, creativity and future-proof solutions.

This year, from 22 to 24 September, during the World Expo thematic week on The Future of Earth and Biodiversity, the Platform will organise nine events over three days in five national pavilions in Osaka, Japan. Have a look at our programme!

This conference will explore the future of agricultural residues. Discover how cutting-edge science is transforming these materials into high-value bioproducts, proteins and alternative materials for the agricultural and food sectors. 

Gather practical insights and get involved in workshops and networking sessions. The event will take place in Beijing, China but will be livestreamed.

The Automotive Circularity Platform (ACP) is a pilot open ecosystem linking collectors of end-of-life automotive materials with users of high-quality secondary materials. It enhances transparency, enables efficient material separation and supports open-market trading. 

As a technical enabler for automotive end-of-life recycling, it will support the implementation of the End-of-Life Regulation and drives recycling, regulatory compliance and supply chain resilience. 

The ECESP website has plenty of examples of types and uses of secondary raw materials. This series will shine a spotlight on some of them!
