Abstract
The construction sector is increasingly recognized as a critical domain in the pursuit of a circular economy (CE) (Adams et al. 2017). In the Netherlands, the landfilling of construction and demolition waste (CDW) is already minimized, underlining the transition outcome to CE, but most of the CDW is currently only processed low level recycling or backfilling (Azcárate- Aguerre 2023). Among the various strategies to circularity, reuse of construction products has shown particular promise, where materials and components are recovered, refurbished if necessary, and reintroduced into new or ongoing building projects(Tsui 2023; Van Uden et al. 2025). Yet, despite its potential, this approach faces a series of practical challenges that impede mainstream adoption: fragmented stakeholder networks, inconsistent or incomplete data about available used materials, and a general lack of robust, integrative logistics mechanisms (Tjahjono 2010).
