The construction sector is crucial for the transition of Europe's economy. 

It is very important for the economy and provides a large number of jobs which cannot be offshored - but it also uses a huge amount of resources and so must be a driver of the circular economy. This guide aims to inform both the authorities and stakeholders on the shift to a circular economy. It maps the players and the ecosystem of the construction sector, provides stakeholders with the tools needed to incorporate a circular dimension into their projects - and tells them why they really should do so. 

French regulations on the circular economy in the construction sector are plentiful and have evolved significantly in recent years. This makes abiding by them a challenge for anyone wishing to launch a circular project. INEC and Altes Avocats aim to help all stakeholders in the sector meet this challenge.
