#70 Building Circularity 4.0: First Steps to Adoption

The Circular Economy Ministerial Advisory Group (CE-MAG) industry feedback workshop held on 25 May 2023 highlighted the gap in awareness and understanding about what circular economy really means, and how the industry can get involved. A key question from the session became:

‘What practical things can the different actors in the industry do as a first step?’

To address this issue, Building 4.0 CRC proposed a project to develop a tool in collaboration with CE-MAG that the industry could turn to.

The ‘Building Circularity 4.0: First Steps to Adoption’ tool aims to promote circularity and sustainability in buildings and construction, generating economic and social benefits for stakeholders and communities. It suggests actions each player in the building supply chain can take to embed circular economy principles in their operations and it provides links to further resources that could help grow understanding and awareness.

You can access the tool here.

The wheel outlines all major key players in the building supply chain. Users select a chosen actor (e.g. Local Government) to see the suggested first step, and relevant references including industry reports, websites, books, online tools and research papers.
