About us

The transition to a circular, resource-efficient construction sector is crucial to lowering CO2 emissions and achieving climate neutrality in 2050. By upscaling the positive impacts of identified  success factors for circularity and the re-use of waste materials, the Circular Trust Building (CTB) consortium collaborates on further development, new solutions and the empowerment of stakeholders.

Scaling successes

Circular Trust Building upscales the partners' identified success factors using the innovative socio-technical transition theory:

  • Back casting: integrating stakeholders on common goals and jointly analyzing  what’s needed, what’s available and who can contribute what. 
  • Increased institutional capacity in (de-)construction, renovation, development and regulation: trained professionals move the transition forward.
  • Agile development of missing solutions such  as a Circular Building Trust Framework, Regional Circular Deals, connecting digital platforms, matching supply and demand.

Our pilots

In 8 demonstration pilots, CTB supports and enables local construction, de-construction, design and development companies, jointly aiming for a 25% reduction of the material footprint in this sector. Through transnational cooperation and exchange of knowledge and experience, CTB wants to further  accelerate the transition to a circular building material economy.

The partners

The CTB consortium includes 15 partners from 6 countries and associated partners. Together we will develop strategies and action plans to empower our stakeholders and speed up the transition towards carbon neutrality in the builing sector in the North Sea Region. The partnership links  government, knowedge institutes, industry, stakeholders and society in upscaling and implementation. Transnational  cooperation and exchange is pivotal.
