Demanding a low Environmental Cost Indicator in tenders makes a circular raw materials cluster achievable step by step. The study by New Economy frames procurement as a practical lever that governments already control. Each tender becomes a push towards lower-impact materials. The building task demands enormous material flows, while the region wants to become circular.
Linking the building task to circular raw materials makes both goals achievable. This is relevant for the Southern Randstad, construction parties and organisations in circular raw materials. Source: New Economy & Stec Groep (2020).
