We need change now
Construction is one of most resource intensive industries worldwide. In the Netherlands alone the built environment accounts for 40% of all the material and energy consumption. Material waste streams aggregate to 4 million tons per year, while there is a potential value of endless reuse.
The circular economy provides this potential value of endless reuse. It preserves natural ecosystems, reduces carbon emissions and creates smart and sustainable urban areas.
At the same time, circular change in the industry is slow. This calls for action!
Circular scale-ups will drive that change
This gives great opportunities for innovative, technology-driven entrepreneurs in the construction industry. But only those that scale will drive that change. Excellent scale-ups are required, and together we must increase their chances of success by creating the right context. Only then the construction market will transfer into a circular one!
