CESGO!

Key results

Key lessons learned

1. We set up a learning network for steering committee members and other interested parties. We organised four sessions with presentations, a project visit, experience exchange between participants and discussion moments. 
2. We carried out an environmental and financial analysis of two case studies: the climate ceiling of Interalu and the demountable interior wall of JUUNOO. 
3. We designed an information toolbox for manufacturers, main contractors and building owners considering a CESCo. The toolbox includes several sections that can also be consulted separately, such as a legal checklist, an overview of steering committee members, sample projects ... 
4. We prepared an executive summary of the toolbox with a series of policy recommendations.

1. Action is needed from government agencies. CESCo may only really break through if circular material use becomes mandatory. Governments can also take on an exemplary role. 
2. Further efforts should be made to share knowledge. Raising awareness, clear communication and promotional marketing can significantly increase the sense of urgency. 
3. CESCos are not possible in combination with the traditional way of building. More attention should be paid to the harvesting value of materials, detachable connections and increased cooperation between different actors from an early stage. 
4. There are still many legal obstacles that hamper the rollout of a CESCo.
