This paper presents circular built environment case studies from Europe, Asia and Africa covering circular housing concepts, circular office refurbishment, circular construction and demolition waste management and circular building material production. One Planet Sustainable Buildings and Construction programme is developing a data base on pilots addressing different life cycle stages of circular buildings. Those cases can be exploited when developing sustainable solutions that meet local conditions. The intent of reporting the case studies is to support the building and construction sector to move towards a circular economy.
