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.

This Standardization Roadmap aims to provide an overview of the status quo of standardization in the field of the circular economy, to describe the requirements and challenges for seven key topics, and to identify possible needs for future standards and specifications.

The HOOP project has provided Project Development Assistance to eight lighthouse cities and regions, supporting them with the development of large-scale urban circular bioeconomy initiatives focusing on making bio-based products from urban biowaste and wastewater. The partners have developed a suite of open-source tools to help cities and regions launch urban circular bioeconomy projects.

Arup and the Ellen MacArthur Foundation launched the toolkit in a bid to bring a circular economy for buildings into the mainstream, and future-proof assets in the face of a rapidly changing policy landscape.

This roadmap supports governments in their goals to work towards 100% circular procurement and commissioning. The roadmap provides for a step-by-step plan that helps to design the implementation process and select actions needed.

In 2018, the National Institute for Circular Economy (INEC) launched an Operational Programme on Purchasing and Circular Economy, together with the Métropole du Grand Paris and the Observatoire des Achats Responsables. Drawing on participants' experiences, these guidelines aim to guide private and public buyers through integrating the circular economy into their purchasing policies.

Available in seven languages, the Circulab toolbox has been tested and improved by hundreds of customers in many industrial sectors around the world since 2014.

These powerful tools make it possible to explore a context, map a business model with all its impacts, identify key stakeholders, and start generating circular and regenerative ideas under a systemic approach.
