Proposing new concepts for the post-pandemic era that combine the built environment and sustainability techniques may provide an opportunity for better integration into the essence of sustainability. In this regard, this paper recommends applying circular economy idea in adaptive reuse practice of ...
When we first spoke about advancing sustainable infrastructure at the beginning of 2023, you emphasized the need to reuse, adapt and recycle when planning and designing infrastructure to achieve net zero. How can these principles of the circular economy be applied to the built environment? Eric Pei...
Our research outlines key principles of the circular economy, using the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s ReSOLVE framework to explore and contextualise practical applications in the built environment.
Circular economy (CE) has evolved gradually since its inception in the late 90s and has been implemented differently in various sectors across different countries. The implementation of CE in built-environment has vast benefits owing to the potential to reduce the ecological & carbon footprint of ...
The paper intends to illustrate the application of Circular Economy to the design of the built environment, with a focus on the Dutch case. CE is a flexible framework supporting the optimization of resource use through a global redesigning of production processes and supply of services, according ...
Learn how the principles of the Circular Economy can be applied to the built environment ranging from products and buildings to metropolitan and regional development strategies. In this course you will become familiar with circularity as a systemic, multi-disciplinary approach, concerned with the differ...

Global consumption of resources is expected to double by 2050.*1LIXIL has designated the realization of a circular economy as one of our focus areas to achieve LIXIL Environmental Vision “Zero Carbon and Circular Living” and has included it among other material issues. With the aim of ensuring...
This task group, which is part of the UKGBC’s Advancing Net Zero Programme, will develop a vision of what a circular economy will look like for the built environment and identify the steps we need to get there. James said, "As a company, we are dedicated to achieving our Net Zero Ca...
Those of us in the design industry must collaborate on innovative solutions and closed-loop technology at every stage of the value chain in order to minimize the environmental impact of design. Here are some of the ways we can transform the design economy through circular technology. ...
