CEN/TC 350/SC 1 - Circular Economy in the Construction Sector
Standardization in the field of circular economy in the built environment specifying circular principles and guidelines and requirements to facilitate the transition to a more sustainable circular economy including tools and processes to achieve this; covering design to de-construction and end-of-life scenarios in all stages of current and subsequent life cycles. This applies to new and existing construction works (buildings and civil engineering works), including their products, materials and components. The Subcommittee deals both with technical issues on circularity, as well as environmental, economic and social challenges. This work will take into account standards of CEN/TC 350 and consider the work of existing committees on subjects that may support the circular economy in the construction sector, such as ISO/TC 323 and CEN-CLC/JTC 10, including initiatives of the European Commission.
