The Better Buildings Partnership has published a new one-pager highlighting how circular economy principles are being embedded in real estate strategies, operations, and developments by leading BBP members.
The circular economy offers a framework to reduce waste, cut embodied carbon, and build greater resilience in the built environment. With the construction sector generating 62% of the UK’s total waste, circular approaches are no longer optional—they are essential.
This resource outlines the core principles of circularity, references BBP’s supporting toolkits, and shares practical case studies from GPE, British Land, Derwent London, Landsec, Canary Wharf Group, and the City of London Corporation.
From reusing structural steel to implementing material passports and setting circularity score targets, these examples demonstrate how commercial property owners are putting circular principles into action.
Key features:
- Clear summary of circular economy principles and their relevance to commercial real estate
- Insights from six BBP members showcasing leadership in circularity
- Links to key BBP resources: Green Lease Toolkit, Responsible Property Management Toolkit, Acquisitions Sustainability Toolkit
- Designed for quick reference and sharing across your networks
