The document promotes circular construction practices by mapping strategies and actions for minimizing the environmental impact and resource use in building projects. It is a tool that can help you enter into discussions with actors involved in the project to make circular choices.

Five circular objectives (letters) are determined. They are classified according to input (A and B), use (C) and potential output (D and E) of the product. For each of these objectives, strategies (numbers) are provided to achieve them.

The mapping has been developed for two separate target audiences: one mapping for local authorities, and anther mapping for actors involved in residential renovation. For local authorities, this helps to create support and increases the chance of success for your circular purchasing project.

While this tool is made for local governments in Flanders, it can serve as a starting point for other cities and regions which are looking for entry-level principles for construction and renovation projects. It is a tool that can help authorities enter into discussions with actors involved in the project to make circular choices. This tool is best used in the Design phase of the CCRI methodology, in particular to help identify intervention areas before designing targets.
