The French Agency for Ecological Transition (ADEME) defines the circular economy as an economic system of exchange and production that, at all stages of the life cycle of goods and services, aims to rationalize the use of resources and reduce their impact on the environment, while increasing the well-being of individuals. The construction sector must integrate this vision from the design phase, in a proactive approach. New construction of housing is in fact much more resource-intensive than renovation.
It is therefore essential for the construction industry to limit the consumption of raw materials, to anticipate uses through the reversibility and modularity of construction systems and finally to intensify the sorting, reuse and recovery of waste.
On the ground, many stakeholders are already committed to this path, but the issues of resources and methods have not been resolved everywhere. Significant disparities exist both between material sectors and between regions.
This collective work, coordinated by Ademe, presents a " benchmark » European initiatives and highlights the major challenges of circularity in the construction sector, while at the same time establishing a framework for definition and indicators. It aims to capitalize on pioneering experiences and disseminate them in order to encourage these future practices.
