Unlock the Future of Circular Construction.

This immersive learning expedition invites professionals from around the world to explore how the Netherlands is redefining construction through circular principles. Discover innovative projects, cutting-edge materials, and business models that are transforming the built environment into a system where waste is eliminated, resources are reused, and buildings are designed for the future.

Dates for the learning expedition: Coming soon Spring 2025

Program Highlights:

Exclusive Site Visits

Step inside the Netherlands’ most advanced circular construction projects. Visit pioneering sites that showcase modular building techniques, urban mining, bio-based materials, and closed-loop design, proving that a waste-free construction sector is not just possible—it’s already happening.

Hands-On Workshops

Engage in expert-led sessions exploring practical circular solutions for construction and real estate. Topics include material passports, adaptive building design, policy frameworks, and innovative financial models that make circularity both viable and profitable.

High-Impact Networking

Connect with industry leaders, policymakers, architects, and sustainability experts who are driving the circular transition. Build partnerships, exchange knowledge, and explore international collaboration opportunities that bring real impact to your projects and business.

What is circular construction?

Circular construction is a new approach to building that eliminates waste and maximizes resource reuse. Instead of the traditional take-make-dispose model, it ensures materials, components, and buildings are designed for reuse, adaptability, and longevity.

Key principles include:

• Design for disassembly – Buildings are made with modular, reusable components.
• Use of bio-based and recycled materials – Minimizing reliance on virgin resources.
• Urban mining – Recovering valuable materials from existing buildings.
• Closing the loop – Reducing waste, emissions, and resource depletion.

By applying these strategies, circular construction reduces environmental impact, lowers costs, and creates resilient, future-proof buildings.

Why the Netherlands?

As a pioneer in circular construction, the Netherlands is setting the global benchmark for a low-carbon, resource-efficient, and regenerative built environment. With a national commitment to becoming 100 percent circular by 2050, we are reshaping the way buildings are designed, constructed, and repurposed—proving that circularity is not just an ambition, but a reality.

As one of the most densely populated and urbanized countries in the world, we understand the urgent need to design smarter, build more efficiently, and reuse materials at scale. Our cities and industries have embraced circular strategies that rethink traditional construction, moving away from linear, wasteful practices and toward a system where buildings are designed to be flexible, adaptable, and fully reusable.

This learning expedition provides an exclusive, in-depth experience of how our country is driving this transformation. From groundbreaking innovations and large-scale implementations to progressive policies that enable circular practices, participants will gain firsthand insights into the strategies that are revolutionizing the construction sector.
