Abstract
In addressing the transition towards Net Zero by 2050, it is imperative to acknowledge the construction industry's pivotal shift in perspective: sustainability must transition from being a 'maybe' to a 'must' (Hu, 2019). This research delves into the Dutch construction sector's journey in making this critical transition. The Netherlands, committed to becoming fully circular and achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050, faces a significant challenge in the widespread adoption of Low Impact Materials (LIMs). Despite various government initiatives and pilot projects aimed at fostering sustainable construction, the industry remains hesitant to fully embrace LIMs due to concerns over durability, commercial viability, and established practices...
