The global building and construction sector is currently responsible for nearly 40% of energy-related emissions. In a world that is becoming increasingly urbanized, it is essential that this sector develops in line with the Paris Agreement. Circularity is a mindset and practice that challenges lineary processes to reduce the impact of construction on the environment, now and in the future.

At this seminar we will discuss some enablers and barriers for circular models when applied to the businesses and the materials needed to move societies towards a more circular built environment, from three different disciplinary perspectives.
