The circular economy is a key enabler for sustainability, resource efficiency and mitigating climate change. Transparency and alignment on circular metrics are critical to establishing a common language across industries and governments aspiring to develop strategies and measure progress on circularity.

Particularly for the built environment, implementing and adopting circular economy principles of designing out waste and pollution, keeping products and materials in use and regenerating natural systems can support the decarbonization of the entire system and improve collaboration within the value chain. 

Consistent circularity measurement and the adoption of a standardized approach can allow stakeholders to understand the level of circularity of their buildings and determine actions toward improving their performance, accelerating the shift toward a sustainable built environment. 

World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) Built Environment Pathway members have been working together to understand what the needs are for stakeholders when measuring the circularity of buildings, and the findings are published in the White Paper: Measuring circular buildings - key considerations  

Join this webinar to hear about the findings of the White Paper and about the next steps to work towards a standardized framework to measure the circularity of buildings.
