The CityLoops project was a Horizon 2020 project which ran from 2019 to 2023. It focused on circular economy solutions for bio-waste and construction and demolition waste (CDW). The project produced various tools, including this toolkit.

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.
This guidance document provides cities with practical tools to drive the circular economy transition at local level and directly harvest its benefits.
It looks at circular consumption principles and approaches, redefining urban space to facilitate circular consumption, challenges in the transition to circular consumption, and the role of cities in promoting circular consumption.
This document is intended to guide cities on how to advance their circular transition in the built environment, from establishing an enabling framework to implementing circular solutions.
It covers a circular urban built environment, the changing roles of stakeholders in a circular built environment and key recommendations and action points for cities.
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 guide is intended primarily for building owners. It presents several pathways for integrating the principles of reusing building materials in construction and renovation projects.
The One Click LCA Building Circularity software makes it possible to design buildings using more circular criteria. The software tracks, quantifies and optimises both the circularity of materials sourced and used and end-of-life circularity.
Using good practices and replicable examples from Europe and beyond, these EU-funded BUS-GoCircular project guidelines aim to raise awareness among practitioners and policymakers about their ability to promote a more circular construction sector and upskill professionals.
The Circular Buildings Toolkit will help designers and planners create a better future in the built environment sector. 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.
