Scope and objectives of the project:
 

1. Delivery of a series of sustainable circular economy projects
2. Roll-out of innovative financing solutions/schemes at local and regional scale across Europe
3. Develop the circular economy
4. Ensure natural resources are used and managed in circular manner
5. Prevent and remove pollution
6. Unlock the full potential and benefits of the circular economy
7. Regional, rural, local and consumer-based transitions are accelerated
    

EU industrial sustainability, competitiveness and resource independence are strengthened.

To unlock the transformative potential of CCH for a circular construction market in Europe, CirCoFin will trigger widespread adoption and market uptake. To this end, CirCoFin develops four fully bankable projects to showcase and prove the feasibility and commercial viabilityof CCH as a mainstream business and investment opportunity.

The methodology will bereplicated in 10 additional cities or regions via the deal engine developed in DEFINITE-CCRI. The financial models and solutions making circular construction financially viable for investors are further rolled-out via direct engagement of 10 investors and via European finance and project support mechanisms. CCH are corner stones to develop circular construction markets in the cities and regions and meeting EU Taxonomy requirements. They open opportunities for SMEs to provide new circular services such as preparation for reuse or leasing of components, creating new jobs and skill profiles and increasing construction sector stability.

Alignment with the CCRI

CIRCOFIN will establish close and frequent collaboration with the CCRI-CSO to ensure alignment on messaging and maximise joint outreach towards its community of stakeholders, including local and regional authorities, circulareconomy networks, projects, and pilots. 

Key mechanisms for collaboration include participation in CCRI events, CCRI Technical Working Group in Buildings, CCRI workshops and conferences, the CIRN meetings, and other events with strategic importance to the overall CCRI). To avoid redundancy between the CCRI projects and to maximise mutual learnings on the same topic, collaboration will be established with other CCRI projects related to construction, especially those developing similar tools (CircBoost, Reconstruct, WoodCircles). Collaboration will also be extended to other relevant projects, such as PREUSE (Interreg). CirCoFin will also work closely with other CCRI-PDA projects and spin-offs, such as DEFINITE-CCRI and CircularInvest, to uphold and reinforce the delivery of PDA services to cities and regions across Europe beyond the project lifetime.

A CirCoFin policy recommendation paper will also be coordinated with the CCRI CSO and Technical Working Groups. Exact activities will be refined and agreed upon with the CCRI-CSO at the project's outset, maximizing synergies, preventing overlap, and exchanging knowledge. CirCoFin will explore additional joint dissemination and/or exploitation activities with the CCRI community, aligning them with the Dissemination, Communication, and Exploitation Plan (D8.1).
