Dataset for: Introducing a circular construction hub for building material circularity in city: A case study in Leiden, the Netherlands
What's in it
The Dutch government has published the circular economy goal, which aims to reduce 50% consumption of raw materials by 2030 and realize full circularity by 2050. The goal leads the promotion of sustainable development, particularly, on improving the resilience of the self-sufficient material supply chain in the Dutch economy. As one of the largest raw material consumers, the construction sector urgently demands a solution towards building circularity, which mainly indicates increasing the use of secondary materials and reducing demolition and construction waste. Accordingly, the municipality of Leiden takes the leading role of circular transition, and seeks a practical solution in the construction sector at the local scale.The circular construction hub is brought out as an effective solution to the building material circularity transition. A series of conceptual development and a few pilot projects in Utrecht and Amsterdam were established, the effectiveness is proved by the promising results of transportation reduction, and recycling rate improvement.Regardless numbers of the number of studies on the building material flow analysis and the development of the hubs in various …
