Abstract
This contribution highlights the role that collaborative platforms can offer for the promotion of circularity in the construction sector, through the interaction between different stakeholders and, in particular, through the collection and promotion of good practices. In fact, the work reports the outcomes of stakeholder consultation experiences, developed within the Italian Circular Economy Stakeholder Platform, aimed at identifying the strategic areas and priority actions for the scale-up circular solutions to a large scale, and activities of collection, selection and analysis of good practices at different scales (products, buildings, tools) that exemplify the possibility of concretely implementing - in a highly replicable manner - the circular solutions, until now often considered experimental cases that are difficult to be repeated.Keywords
