Study on measuring the application of circular approaches in the construction industry ecosystem
To fully reap the benefits of circular economy, we need a good view of the application of different circular economy approaches by different stakeholders across the value chain in the construction industry.
Deloitte Belgium is carrying out a Study on measuring the application of circular approaches in the construction industry ecosystem with the European Commission. This study aims to boost the application of circular approaches and their measurement in the construction industry across Europe.
Did you know that 37.5% of the total waste generation in the EU comes from construction and demolition? And that waste generation is predicted to increase by 70% by 2050 compared to current levels? Yet, it is difficult to measure what the construction industry ecosystem is doing to address this problem and capture the value of these materials.
To fully reap the benefits of a circular economy, there should be an application of different circular economy approaches by different stakeholders across the value chain. However, it is unclear to what extent this is already being done.
