The System of Circular Material Hubs in the Netherlands: An exploratory research on practices performed within the system of circular material hubs in the Netherlands: its challenges, opportunities, potential future developments and the connection to architects

<b>Purpose:</b> The construction industry is responsible for great amounts of resource consumption, waste generation and both carbon and greenhouse gas emissions in the European Union. The currently still predominant linear mindset of take-make-consume-dispose must shift to reduce the industry’s environmental impact and enable the transition...

Constraining and enabling factors that influence core practices embedded within the supply processes of circular building hubs; A Social Practice Theory approach

The construction industry's substantial consumption of materials, CO2 emissions, and construction and demolition waste underscore the pressing need for change. One promising solution is the reuse of secondary building components, which has the potential to signifi-cantly mitigate these environmental impacts. Circular Building Hubs (CBHs) have...

The consolidation of circular project dynamics in an evaluation Tool: to help members of project teams to learn about the integration of project dynamics for circularity in construction projects to stimulate the realization of circular ambitions

A tool that contributes to solving the cultural barrier of the lack of knowlegde about circularity in conventional members of project teams. Using three case studies an evaluation tool is developed. With gathering circular project dynamics, validating them and integrating them into the evaluation tool. The tool intends to help members of project...
