Circular Construction in Nordic Cities - Current State and Development

25-09-2024

The transition to a circular economy in the construction sector is essential for reducing environmental impact and achieving sustainability goals in the Nordic region. While significant strides have been made, broader implementation and scaling of these practices are needed. This report from Work Package 2 offers recommendations for achieving these objectives through targeted policy measures, technological innovation, and stakeholder collaboration.

The report provides an assessment of circular economy practices in the construction sector within the Nordic countries, focusing particularly on selected pilot projects in Tampere and Stavanger, as well as the general status in Stockholm and Copenhagen. Via these pilot projects, the study aims to identify expertise, challenges, and opportunities for promoting circular economy principles, and provide recommendations for city-specific, national, and Nordic levels.
