The CBC Open Call seeks to amplify proven solutions(“Blueprint Projects”) to accelerate the transition to a circular builtenvironment in Europe. While there are existing efforts to address challengesto adopting circularity at scale, many of the solutions have been developed andtested within closed or limited environments, but have not reached its fullmarket potential, or been widely diffused across the sector for the publicgood.
The construction sector in the EU is a major contributor to carbon emissions and waste generation, with unsustainable practices pushing the sector past critical global warming limits. However, applying circular economy principles through a 'Circular Building Scenario' alongside industry decarbonisation has the potential to significantly reduce the sector's CO2e emissions by 4.15 Gt, keeping the 2°C global warming scenario within reach, and reducing material consumption by 6.7 Gt between 2024-2050.
