About

SIRCULAR aims at transforming the building sector into a circular and sustainable industry, following the principles of the Built4People partnership. Coordinated by RINA-C, the project brings together 22 partners from six European countries, including universities, SMEs, NGOs, and industries.

SIRCULAR develops, tests, and demonstrates innovative technologies and services across four regional clusters: first in Estonia and Spain, followed by Germany and Greece. These clusters engage construction companies, housing organisations, universities, and local authorities, focusing on buildings owned or occupied by vulnerable population groups. The project emphasises a just and affordable transition to circular and sustainable building practices.
