Insights from CircEUlar at the 12th International Conference on Industrial Ecology
Jakob Napiontek presented the latest developments of EUBUCCO, a comprehensive expansion of the existing building database the EUBUCCO buildings dataset as part of the CircEUlar project
New article on uncertainty in estimates of material stocks
We call for transparent reporting, uncertainty assessments, further data collection, and greater collaboration through open-access tools and standardized approaches.
Circular citizenship behaviours: How individuals can promote systemic change towards a circular economy
A new theoretical framework developed by our colleagues at the University of Groningen sheds light on how individuals can go beyond personal consumption and actively contribute to systemic change to achieve a circular economy.
How circularity could contribute to driving climate change mitigation in the Built Environment?
On June 18th CircEUlar, CIRCOMOD and CO2NSTRUCT presented preliminary findings and insights on how, in the built environment, circularity could contribute to driving climate change mitigation as part of EU Green Week.
Building a Greener Future: Circular Economy Strategies for Climate Change Mitigation in the Built Environment
Transitioning to a circular economy model, through the reuse of materials, sustainable construction practices, and improved renovation strategies, can play a key role in climate change mitigation and the reduction of environmental impacts.
Grasping how different urban patterns affect local energy and materials demand
The CircEUlar team at INEGI is exploring how different urban patterns dictate energy and material needs, through spatially-explicit modelling of a comprehensive set of indicators.
The Indirect Impacts of Digitalisation on Energy and Emissions
Charlie Wilson and Yee Van Fan argue that the indirect impacts of AI on climate may outweigh concerns about the energy needed to train and run AI models.
How Circular Economy Strategies Can Drive Net-Zero Emissions: New Report Released
The CircEUlar project developed a set of narratives that examine how Circular Economy (CE) strategies can contribute to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050
Developing Preliminary Pathways with Stakeholder Feedback
In March and April 2025, research partner T6 Ecosystems, designed, organised and delivered four online sessions with stakeholders to explore the future of the built environment, mobility, digitalisation, and household appliances and waste in a more circular economy.
How Modular Models Can Unlock Demand-Side Solutions
In order to formulate climate strategies that are capable of being implemented, it is essential to establish a modelling ecosystem that is characterised by diversity, collaboration and a foundation in the complexity of the real world.
